President Donald Trump urged Congress on Friday to “press hard for more daylight at the end of a day” in his last excavation in the semiannual change of watches.
Trump, in a public media network publication, said it would be “very popular and, most importantly, no more changes in watches, great discnence and, for our government, a very expensive event!”
The position of the Republican president who demands more light of the day would boost the schedule, maintaining the country in summer schedule.
Its publication came a day after a Senate panel heard testimony examining whether it was established once throughout the year in the change of change.
There is a growing interest in states to standardize summer savings time in recent years.
But summer savings time, when the watches are established from spring to autumn an hour before the standard time, is still collected in most of the country.
First he was adopted as a war measure in 1942.
Last year, Trump asked that the Republican party eliminate the salvation time of the day, saying that it was “inconvenient and very expensive for our nation.”
But he backed that call last month, with another publication on social networks by calling her a “50-50 problem.”
The president said that some people would like more light later a day, but others because more light so that they do not have to bring their children to school in the dark.
“When something is a 50-50 problem, it is difficult to get excited,” he said.
The Senate in 2022 unanimously approved a measure that would make summer schedule permanent in the United States, but did not advance.
