U.S. to end daylight saving time on Nov. 1; time difference with Korea to widen from 13 to 14 hours on the East Coast

[Financial News] Daylight saving time, commonly known in the United States as “summer time,” will end on November 1 (local time).
According to CBS News and other outlets on the 31st, most parts of the United States will end daylight saving time at 2 a.m. on November 1, turning clocks back one hour to 1 a.m. From then on, the time difference with Korea will widen from 13 to 14 hours in Eastern Time, and from 16 to 17 hours in the western United States. Under federal law, daylight saving time in the United States begins on the second Sunday in March each year and ends on the first Sunday in November.
Daylight saving time is a system that moves clocks one hour ahead of standard time ahead of summer, when the days grow longer. Intended to save energy and promote economic activity, it is observed throughout the United States except in Arizona, Hawaii, Guam, Puerto Rico and other areas.
Earlier, a bill to make daylight saving time permanent, introduced by then-Senator Marco Rubio in 2022, passed the Senate but was blocked in the House and failed. In July, the U.S. House passed the Sunshine Protection Act to make daylight saving time permanent, but it has yet to clear the Senate.
U.S. President Donald Trump, who supports making daylight saving time permanent, said on Truth Social on the 26th, “The Senate is scrapping the daylight saving time bill that the vast majority of the public wants,” adding, “Everyone no longer wants to change their clocks.”
