US President elect Donald Trump advocates for ending costly Daylight Saving Time

US President-elect Donald Trump has criticized Daylight Saving Time (DST), calling it inconvenient and costly for the country. He further stated that the Republican Party will make strong efforts to end the practice.

In a social media post, Trump stated that while DST has a small but strong constituency, it should be discontinued, and his party will work to eliminate it.

DST, which involves moving the clocks forward by one hour during the summer months to take advantage of longer evenings, has been in effect across nearly all of the United States since the 1960s. However, it has been a topic of debate in recent years.
