I live in Trinidad and we are in the same timezone as the eastern united states even though geographically we are relatively far to the east of the eastern US.
How is it then that Jamaica, which is alot closer west to the eastern US in a different time zone (GMT-5) than for instance Florida (GMT-4) and is therefore 1 hour behind?

Time zones are made up and don’t have to make any sense.
Kashgar, China is on UTC+8 while Lahore, Pakistan is on UTC+5. Kashgar is only 150 km further to the east. There is even a UTC+14 timezone which is *surrounded* by UTC-10!
