President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin are planning on meeting in Alaska, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.
Mr. Trump confirmed on Truth Social the meeting will take place in Alaska on Friday, August 15.
One senior White House official told CBS News the planning for next Friday's summit is still fluid, and that it is still possible that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy could end up being involved in some way.
The White House said earlier this week that Mr. Trump is open to meeting with both Putin and Zelenskyy, but Mr. Trump suggested Friday he may start by just meeting with Putin, telling reporters he plans to "start off with Russia." Mr. Trump also said he believes "we have a shot at" organizing a trilateral meeting with the Ukrainian and Russian leaders.
Russian businessman and Putin adviser Kirill Dmitriev acknowledged the planned meeting in a post on X that didn't mention the Russia-Ukraine war. He suggested the U.S. and Russia should "partner on environment, infrastructure & energy in Arctic and beyond."

The first step should be for Putin to return all the children he stole from Ukraine.
Then the next step could be discussed.
Dont think Putin wont mention it. I would have guessed Keflavik for the meet up.
Don’t know how you went about making this freeper list but please remove me. Thanks.
There is a name missing from the meeting. Guess who?
There is rumor she can see Putin's dacha from her house.
But I digress....
Eielson outside of Fairbanks.
The runway length at Eielson Air Force Base is approximately 14,530 feet. This runway is significant for military operations and training in arctic conditions.
The runway length at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson is 10,000 feet.
putin probably demand we give Alaska back
USA.
It’s on the list.
I guessed the Arctic, but thought not Alaska and that it would not be announced until after it was over..
Both leaders have many enemies.
Cold Bay Ak - the runway there was overbuilt for the Space shuttle.
Be funny if Alberta ran a pipeline north west to either Port of Valdez or Juneau......

Minerals.
That would be so KOOL.
ok
And impossible...
I’ve only been to Alaska six times but there is no way a pipeline will reach either city mentioned — the terrain is too mountainous.
Juneau, the nations largest capital city, can not be accessed by roads, just sea and air making pipeline support difficult at best.
Have a good weekend.
We get the better end of that trade.
West just needs to go.
How version’s odd you are
