Trump-Putin Meeting In Alaska: Time, Schedule, Location And Subject Of Talks | N18G

On August 15, President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin will meet in Anchorage, Alaska, to discuss Russia’s war in Ukraine, which began over three years ago. The summit, held at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, aims to explore peace possibilities, with Trump positioning himself as a mediator. The meeting will start at 11:30 a.m. Alaska time, followed by a bilateral lunch and a joint press conference. This will be Putin’s first visit to Alaska and his eighth to the U.S. as president. Trump has warned of “very severe consequences” if Putin does not agree to end the conflict and called the talks a “chess game,” acknowledging a 25% chance they may fail. Trump has proposed a land swap between Russia and Ukraine to resolve the war, but Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has firmly rejected any territorial concessions. European leaders emphasize that Zelenskyy must be included in any future negotiations. USA TODAY will provide live coverage of the summit.
