On Friday, the US President Donald Trump called on the American Congress to adopt a law that would bear a change in time. It would permanently introduce the current summer time. In his opinion, such a decision would be well received by citizens.
In the Friday post on his social networking site “Truth Social” Donald Trump also emphasized that the abolition of time change would mean that “there would be no need to move the clocks, which is a serious inconvenience, and for you is very expensive.” The American president called for a change in time in December last year, but then there was talk of staying at winter, although the majority in the Republican Party opposed it. Currently, Trump postulates that summer time becomes applicable.

Lifting time change?
In 2022, the Republican Party submitted a bill on the introduction of summer time. The Senate adopted the project unanimously, but the initiative was rejected by the House of Representatives. One of the authors of this project was the current head of American diplomacy Marco Rubio. Time changes were justified in the past by adapting hours of activity to sunlight to limit the use of artificial lighting. The European Parliament accepted the decision to resign from the change in time in 2019, but its implementation was repeatedly postponed. Currently, the change of time to summer and winter is used in about 70 countries of the world, mainly in North America and Europe; Some states of Australia, New Zealand and Chile practice it in the southern hemisphere.
