Trump and Putin Meet in Alaska


It’s on.

The talks will be held at the heavily guarded Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska (above).

Alaska, the location for the summit, was once a Russian territory before it was sold in 1867 for $7.2million.

The proximity of Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, located in Anchorage, to Russia made it a critical point for monitoring and intercepting Soviet aircraft and missiles during the Cold War era.

The summit will begin at 11:30am Alaska time (3:30pm Eastern time) and marks the first time a meeting between the US and Russia will be held on American soil since 1988.

The White House is already billing the gathering, aimed to end the war, as a ‘listening exercise,’ suggesting Trump intends to hear Putin’s peace
