It uses the UTC underlying it. So it doesn't matter if you link servers in US and Europe, as long as the server times are the same once you strip back the timezone correction factor. i.e. London at the moment is GMT+1 and US East coast is GMT+6. The underlying GMT is the same. The timezone is irrelevant. It uses the UTC underlying it.
