Time Changes
Daylight Saving Time
The United States has set its clocks forward by an hour as of Sunday, March 10th. In Europe, this happens on the last Sunday of March, so, for a few weeks, the time difference between Germany and the United States will be only five hours. But, too, might change. The European Parliament is set to end EU-wide daylight saving time in 2021 as current discussions on the topic seek to address which EU countries will be making which changes.
