Anchorage Readies for Trump-Putin Meeting, with Many Details Still in Flux
The meeting aims to address the Ukraine conflict and sanctions, marking Putin's effort to end Russia's isolation and regain superpower status, analysts say.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump will meet Russian President Vladimir Putin at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska, their first since the Ukraine war began almost three and a half years ago.
- Against a backdrop of isolation, analysts say Putin sees the summit as ending Russia’s isolation and restoring superpower status, with some calling it a symbolic win for him.
- The Federal Aviation Administration posted a temporary flight restriction across a 30-mile radius around Anchorage from 9:15 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. Friday, while Northern Edge and Arctic Edge exercises occur at JBER, and a hotel room was quoted at $658 on Wednesday.
- Reactions have been mixed, with debate over the summit’s wisdom, as the Trump administration calls it a breakthrough, while Ukrainian and European officials remain cautious and Zelenskyy emphasizes Ukraine's exclusion is unacceptable.
- This `feel-out meeting`, Trump said, is designed to assess if a deal is possible, and he expects a trilateral leaders’ meeting to follow, after the initial talks with Putin.
