ANCHORAGE /Alaska/, August 14. /TASS/. Presidents Vladimir Putin of Russia and Donald Trump of the United States will meet in Anchorage, Alaska, on August 15.
This will be the first offline meeting between the two countries’ leaders since June 2021, when Putin met with US President Joe Biden in Geneva.
Putin will be the first-ever Russian leader to visit Alaska, which was sold to the United States in 1867 for $7.2 million.
This summit will also be Putin’s first meeting with Trump after the latter returned to the White House in January 2025. During Trump’s first presidential term, they met in person six times, with the last one being on June 28, 2019 on the sidelines of the Group of Twenty summit in Japan’s Osaka. Putin’s last trip to the United States took place in 2015 when he attended UN events in New York.
According to the US media, the summit will be held at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, a combined US Air Force and Army installation in Anchorage, Alaska. The sides are expected to discuss options for a lasting settlement of the Ukrainian crisis, as well as issues of bilateral relations.
