The United States is by definition in the Western Hemisphere. The eastern hemisphere begins somewhere out in the ocean after leaving North or Central or South America and before arriving in Russia or Japan or one of the islands in the south Pacific.

Some of the islands in the Aleutian chain, part of Alaska, lie west of the 180 degrees longitude line, and are therefore in the Eastern Hemisphere. The specific islands are called the Near Islands, including the westernmost island of Attu.
