Daylight Savings Time 2025: Will President Donald Trump end the time change this year?

During the early days of April, United States residents will lose an hour of sleep due to the clocks going forward with the arrival of Daylight Saving Time, and this will delay the time when day turns to night more than four months after its conclusion in November.

Although daylight saving time has been practiced twice a year since the adoption of daylight saving time in 1918, many Americans have long been frustrated with the constant time changes.

Lawmakers have made strides to end clock changes by trying to make daylight saving time permanent or promising to eliminate it altogether, USA Today reported.

In 2022, the Senate unanimously approved the Sun Protection Act, which would make daylight saving time permanent. However, the House of Representatives did not approve it and former President Joe Biden did not sign it.

Will President Donald Trump end daylight saving time this year?

Before taking office in the White House, Donald Trump said in December that his goal was to end daylight saving time and make it standard time year-round

"The Republican Party will do everything possible to eliminate daylight saving time, which has a small but strong electorate, but it shouldn't!", Trump wrote on his social media on December 13. "Daylight saving time is inconvenient and very costly for our nation."

As of Wednesday, Trump has yet to approve any executive legislation to permanently end daylight saving time.

For now, Arizona and Hawaii do not recognize daylight saving time, nor do the territories of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands.

For now, the time change is scheduled for next Sunday, March 9, and will remain the same until November, unless the White House says otherwise.
