President Donald Trump is set to travel to Anchorage, Alaska, on Friday morning to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in the first US-Russia summit since former President Joe Biden took office in 2021.

Melania Trump wrote a personal letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin for President Donald Trump to hand-deliver during the Alaska summit. The two world leaders sat down together in Anchorage on Aug.

It only makes sense that we’ve met here, because our countries though separated by the ocean are close neighbors,” Putin said in Anchorage.

Demonstrations have been held in the city home to about 300,000 people for several days, protesting the reception of Putin on US soil and holding talks on Ukraine without the participation of its President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Documents with sensitive details about the meeting between President Trump and Russian President Putin were left behind on a public hotel printer.

Trump and Putin “looked like buddies” during their initial greetings in Alaska Friday – but the dynamic had shifted by the end of their visit, according to a body language expert.

President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin are scheduled to meet Friday at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska, to discuss the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

Donald Trump has said he, along with the presidents of Russia and Ukraine, have determined that a peace agreement was preferable to a ceasefire in the conflict between the two warring nations. The announcement comes after Mr Trump's high-profile summit in Alaska with Russia's leader Vladimir Putin ended without an agreement.
