White House Prepares for Historic Trump-Putin Alaska Summit Amid Tensions

The White House has chosen Anchorage, Alaska, as the site for the upcoming Trump-Putin summit, with the meeting set to take place at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson due to security and logistical considerations. The summit, the first in over four years, is being approached as a 'listening session' with limited pre-set expectations, amid ongoing preparations and diplomatic discussions. The choice of Alaska reflects a compromise after Russia declined European venues, and the meeting aims to facilitate direct face-to-face talks between the leaders.
