The president-elect of the United States, Donald Trump, renewed this Friday his intention to end time change, an issue that is once again in the spotlight due to doubts about its effectiveness and benefits.
“The Republican Party will do everything possible to eliminate daylight saving time, which has a small but strong electorate, although it shouldn’t!” he said on his social network, Truth Social, returning to an idea he had already expressed in 2019.
Daylight Saving Time (Daylight Saving Time) adjusts the clocks twice a year to take advantage of more hours of natural light. They go forward one hour on the second Sunday of March and go back one hour on the first of November to return to standard time.

For Trump, the practice of changing the time is “inconvenient and very costly” for the nation.
Eliminating that schedule would require congressional approval.
Currently Hawaii and Arizona are the only two American states that do not follow daylight saving time.
In 2022, the Senate unexpectedly approved Florida Senator Marco Rubio’s bill that sought to make daylight saving time permanent throughout the country starting in 2023, but that initiative was stopped in the House of Representatives.
