Yes, this is a notable trick question. Another answer not mentioned here or in Wikipedia is Guam, in that it is on the other side of the International Date Line. The IDL veers west to include the Aleutian Islands.
Excepting Guam, all US territories are UTC minus for time zones. Guam's time zone is (UTC+10) . Compare San Francisco which is UTC-8 and Tokyo, UTC+9

It depends on how you define USA and how you define "easternmost."
USA (50 states): Sail Rock off the eastern coast of Maine
USA (48 contiguous states): Sail Rock again
USA (including territories): Point Udall US Virgin Islands
USA (by longitude): Pochnoi Point, Semisopochnoi Island, Alaska
USA (by international dateline): Wilkes Island in Wakes Island Atoll

koalatcomic is right, it is Alaska. The international date line runs through it, and anything across that is in the eastern hemisphere, not the west. If the question is the continental US that is another matter, but I have seen this asked before as a trick question.

I believe koalaatcomic is right on this question. In the continental US, it is in Maine as the others pointed out.
