President-elect Donald Trump declared efforts to terminate daylight saving time (DST), deeming it inconvenient and costly. Supported by advisors like Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, Trump contends DST harms public health and sleep patterns. With most of the U.S. observing DST since 1918 for energy conservation during wartime, ongoing debates involve proposals for permanent standard time versus permanent DST. Both proposals have economic implications and garner diverse public opinion, evidenced by polling showing two-thirds favoring a permanent DST. Trump's stance requires Congressional approval amid previous legislative attempts to alter DST without success.
