While the Aleutian Islands may cross 180 degrees east (or west) longitude, this is an atrificial line dividing east from west. You can’t really call it the easternmost point in the world because when you travel east across the line, you don’t suddenly start traveling west.

The more commonly accepted answer for this question is Maine. Maine’s West Quoddy Head is at approximately 67 degrees west longitude.
