Trump and Putin will meet in Alaska next week, Trump says
CBS News ^ | Aug 8, 2025

Posted on 08/08/2025 4:36:55 PM PDT by McGruff

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."

President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin are planning on meeting in Alaska,

Be careful, Mr. President. Putin might pee on Alaska to mark it as his territory like a dog. You better be prepared to hit him with a newspaper and cover his scent.

-The Daily Express 2hrs
Peter Rubinstein, Daily Express
“President Donald Trump claimed on Friday that an end to Russia’s war on Ukraine would involve “some swapping of territories,” a statement that came ahead of an impending meeting with the Russian president in a yet undisclosed location.”

“According to an assessment by The Institute for the Study of War, “Putin remains uninterested in ending his war and is attempting to extract bilateral concessions from the United States without meaningfully engaging in a peace process.”

“Putin continues to believe that time is on Russia’s side and that Russia can outlast Ukraine and the West,” it said Thursday.”

Good.

Begin negotiating the transfer of West Alaska which will be Russia’s compensation for the trouble they have caused.

To the US

Chukotka Autonomous Okrug
Jewish Autonomous Oblast
Kamchatka Krai
Khabarovsk Krai
Magadan Oblast
Primorsky Krai
Sakhalin Oblast

To Russia

Putin is not hung by the neck until dead.

(Russian people might be disappointed about that one).

Opposite.

We get West Alaska

Chukotka Autonomous Okrug
Jewish Autonomous Oblast
Kamchatka Krai
Khabarovsk Krai
Magadan Oblast
Primorsky Krai
Sakhalin Oblast

Just compensation for the trouble Putin started.

what do we get from fagboy Z for all the money he stole from us and for the people he murdered? I bet Trump has a special present for fagboy z if he really was behind the attempted golf course assassination.

Russia can have Senaturd Murkowski, in exchange for a bag of moldy black bread.

The reaction to such a meeting in Beijing, with Xi in a struggle to hold on against the head of the PL Army, would be really interesting.

Last week that general moved their top division away from the capital to the northeast, closer to the Russian (formerly Chinese) areas of Manchuria. It weakened Xi but also put their best troops up nearer the Russian border. Interesting times.

Elmendorf . . . for the security . . . probably not.

The places with long enough runways are few. Anchorage, Juneau, Elmendorf and that’s about it.

Russian businessman and Putin adviser Kirill Dmitriev.......suggested the U.S. and Russia should “partner on environment, infrastructure & energy in Arctic and beyond.”>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I thought Canada owned the arctic area ? I have to laugh that the so called prime minister Of Canada, “ ELBOWS UP”Carney, was not invited?

BUahahahahahahaha!

The Russians and the Americans are going to divide Canada’s arctic and its resources between them, and there is not one thing Canada’s under equipped and under manned bilingual military can do about it.

The Inuit people will soon be speaking Russian instead of Inuktut.

The lefty woke Canadian liberals are losing Canada.Meanwhile they wrap themselves in the Canadian Flag and are making Canada into a 3rd world hell hole by refusing to respect President Trump and refusing to negotiate on tariffs, while supporting Hamas and Palestine against Israel.

Canada is weak. And the wolves gather for the rare earth minerals possessed by Canada, which the liberals have -prevented any development from happening. Same with oil. Its only a matter of time.The world is coming to take it all.

How much longer will Canadians remain asleep and allow Carney and the liberals to make Canada into Zimbabwe North?
