Cancellation of Daylight Saving Time in the United States.. What's the Story?

Arab Weather - US President-elect Donald Trump has expressed his desire to abolish the daylight saving time system in the United States. In a post on the social networking site "Truth Social" last Friday, Trump indicated that the Republican Party will make a great effort to abolish this practice when he returns to office. Trump added, saying:

“The Republican Party will do everything in its power to abolish daylight saving time, which is inconvenient and very costly to our nation,” the Associated Press reported.

Daylight Saving Time: A Tool to Increase Daylight

The idea of daylight saving time is to move the clocks forward one hour in the spring and backward one hour in the fall, with the goal of increasing the hours of daylight in the summer months. However, this practice has long been criticized. Daylight saving time was first adopted during World War II in 1942 as a temporary measure.

Lawmakers have made several proposals to eliminate the seasonal time change. Among the most prominent attempts was a bipartisan bill called the Sunshine Protection Act, which aimed to make daylight saving time permanent. The now-stalled bill was sponsored by Florida Senator Marco Rubio, who Trump would later pick for secretary of state.
