Difference in Jamaica and Florida time zones

315 views

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?

Countries/territories can decide whatever time zone they want; there is no international law governing that.
