President Donald Trump will meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday, August 15, in a high-stakes bid to push for a ceasefire deal in Ukraine.
After weeks of speculation over possible venues — including Italy, Hungary, and the UAE — Trump confirmed the location in a post on Truth Social.
The Alaska summit will mark the first face-to-face encounter between Putin and an American leader since June 2021, when former President Joe Biden met the Russian leader in Geneva.
The meeting comes as Trump intensifies his push to end the war, urging Putin to agree to terms that would halt fighting.
This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available.
