WASHINGTON—President-elect Donald Trump said on Friday the Republican Party “will use its best efforts” to end daylight saving time, which he called “inconvenient, and very costly to our 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 said on social media. “Daylight Saving Time is inconvenient, and very costly to our Nation.”
