President Trump has expressed his support for abandoning biannual clock changes, urging Congress to implement permanent daylight saving time. His call, made via social media and echoed in news reports, advocates for extended evening daylight and a consistent schedule. Canadian provinces interested in a similar permanent change are waiting for U.S. regulatory adjustments to accompany the shift. The debate highlights ongoing discussions across North America regarding the merits and drawbacks of current timekeeping practices and the potential economic and social benefits of a unified time system.
Canadian provinces that back making daylight saving time permanent are waiting for the U.S. to allow a similar change in states that want to come along, but efforts have stalled.
President Trump urged Congress to extend evening daylight, criticizing biannual clock changes. In a Truth Social post, he claimed that more daylight at the end of the day would be very popular and eliminate the need for adjustments.
