US President Donald Trump announced that the House of Representatives passed a bill to make daylight saving time permanent in the US, confirming that the bill now goes to the Senate for final approval.
He described this move as a response to a long-awaited demand from the majority of Americans.
In a post on Truth Social on Wednesday, Trump said that successive US administrations had failed for years to address this issue, adding, ” I am proud to announce that the House of Representatives has passed the Bill, and it has now gone to the Senate for final approval.”
“It is foolish, inconvenient and, in some cases, very costly. For Cities and States with Watchtowers, and hard to reach places, it costs Millions of Dollars.”
“A recent case was made that it is also bad for your health in the anxiety it creates. Leading Medical, Crime, and Economic Studies have shown that ceasing the biannual time change, giving us one extra hour of natural sunlight in the evenings, will help Decrease Robbery and Murder Rates, Reduce Car Accidents (especially those involving Pedestrians!), Lower Risk for Cardiac Issues, Stroke, and Seasonal Depression,” Trump said.
He added that adopting permanent daylight saving time would make it safer for children to return home from school, provide families with more time, support extracurricular activities, and boost the sports, fitness, tourism, retail, and restaurant sectors, as well as reduce energy bills by utilizing an extra hour of daylight.
Trump emphasized that the best solution is to “leave it as it is now, and never change again,” arguing that the issue enjoys a consensus that can unite Republicans, Democrats, and Independents.
In closing, Trump called on Republican senators to drop their objections and allow the legislation to pass, urging them to expedite the passage of the “SUNSHINE PROTECTION ACT”.
