US EditionWhite House lands on Trump-Putin summit location as officials race to prepare for historic Alaska meeting
The Alaska summit aims to restart U.S.-Russia dialogue with discussions on ending the Ukraine war and marks the first meeting in over four years, officials said.
- A long-awaited summit between the U.S. President and the Russian leader is scheduled for August 15, 2025, at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska.
- The meeting follows a surprise agreement reached during Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff's recent Moscow visit and aims to discuss ending the Russia-Ukraine war amid ongoing tensions.
- Officials selected a secure military installation for the summit after Russia declined locations on the European continent in response to the ICC issuing an arrest warrant for Putin; discussions are expected to cover possible economic collaboration in the Arctic as well as matters related to Ukraine.
- Yuri Ushakov highlighted that "economic interests of our countries converge in Alaska and in the Arctic," noting the region contains about 13% of the world's undiscovered oil and 30% of natural gas.
- The summit has the potential to restore US-Russia cooperation on Arctic energy projects and act as a key strategic forum, while Trump intends to engage with European and Ukrainian officials following the discussions.
