where in alaska is trump meeting putin

Donald Trump met Vladimir Putin in Alaska on August 15, 2025, at Joint Base Elmendorf–Richardson in Anchorage. This U.S. military installation on the northern edge of Alaska served as the venue for their high-profile summit focused mainly on discussing the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian War. The choice of Alaska, a state formerly part of Russia and adjacent to Russia across the Bering Strait, held historical significance for the meeting. This was also the first time a Russian president visited the U.S. on a military base and the first meeting between Trump and Putin since Trump's 2024 reelection.
