(AURN News) — President-elect Donald Trump has declared his intention to eliminate Daylight Saving Time, characterizing the practice as detrimental to the nation.

"The Republican Party will use its best efforts to eliminate Daylight Saving Time, which has a small but strong constituency, but shouldn't!" Trump posted on Truth Social. "Daylight Saving Time is inconvenient, and very costly to our Nation," he added.

The biannual time change has a complex history in the United States. First established in 1918, it was quickly repealed the following year. The practice returned on a national scale during World War II.

Current regulations, established by Congress in 2007, set the time change to begin on the second Sunday in March and end on the first Sunday in November. However, not all states participate, with Hawaii and most of Arizona opting out of the practice.
