Trump Releases Senator Cotton's Phone Number Over Daylight Savings Time Controversy

US President Donald Trump published the telephone number of Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Tom Cotton, who refused to support a bill to establish permanent daylight saving time in the country. Thus, the head of the White House tried to put pressure on the senator, TASS reports.

On the social network Truth Social, the American leader explained that Cotton was “blocking” the progress of the bill in the Senate. According to Trump, the document has already been approved by the House of Representatives, but it has not yet been put to a vote in the Senate. Cotton opposes the initiative.

The senator noted on his social media account X that since daylight saving time, Americans are faced with "absurdly late" sunrise times in the winter, and Arkansas residents don't like their children going to school in "pitch darkness."

In 2022, the US Senate passed legislation making daylight saving time permanent, but the House did not support the bill. Back in late 2024, before the start of his second presidential term, Trump assured that the Republican Party would make every effort to abolish daylight saving time, since it was “inconvenient and very costly for the country.”
