Trump-Putin summit to take place at U.S. military base in Anchorage

The meeting in Alaska, announced last week, will be the first between the two leaders since Trump started his second term in office.

President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin are expected to hold their long-anticipated summit at a U.S. military base in Anchorage, Alaska, on Friday, according to a White House official.

The meeting at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson will be their first during Trump's second term, as Trump seeks to bring an end to Russia's war in Ukraine.

CNN first reported the meeting's location, which Russians have touted for its historical significance: The United States purchased the territory from the Russian Empire 158 years ago.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio described the upcoming summit Tuesday as a “feel-out meeting,” saying it was “not a concession” to Putin. He added, “We’re going to know very early in that meeting whether this thing has any chance of success or not.”$BTC $ETH $XRP
