I had a similar issue with ASP Net Core 3.0. The site hosting was in a different country causing issues with formats.

I added the following to the startup:

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Localization;
using System.Globalization;

in ConfigureServices:

services.AddLocalization();

in Configure:

var supportedCultures = new[]{
    new CultureInfo("en-US")
};
app.UseRequestLocalization(new RequestLocalizationOptions {
    DefaultRequestCulture = new RequestCulture("en-US"),
    SupportedCultures = supportedCultures,
    FallBackToParentCultures= false
});
CultureInfo.DefaultThreadCurrentCulture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("en-US");
