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?

Many places don’t practice daylight savings time like the USA does therefore they fall an hour behind.
E.g, my wife is from Ecuador and we live in Florida. On a globe Ecuador is literally due south of Florida. Yet they are an hour behind because of daylight savings time.
