Donald Trump is set to meet with Vladimir Putin at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage on Friday. This will be the first time a U.S. president has met with their Russian counterpart since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022. The meeting comes after Trump’s adviser Steve Witkoff traveled to Moscow last week to meet with Putin.
The summit was put together very quickly. Witkoff returned from Moscow, talked to Trump, and they announced the meeting just days later. This speed has raised questions about what really happened during Witkoff’s trip to Russia.
