Newsweek compared the number of U.S. holidays with the rest of the world after President Donald Trump said there were "too many."

And in 2021, then-President Biden signed legislation into law to make Juneteenth, or June 19, a federal holiday. Biden’s signature made Juneteenth the country’s 12th federal holiday — and the first new one created since Martin Luther King Jr. Day was established in 1983.

President Trump on Thursday said American employees have too many holidays off work in his latest criticism of U.S. commemorations. Why it matters: The U.S. is among the least generous of its global counterparts for paid time off policies.
