Despite the White House Hope: Putin and Trump's meeting on Alaska will take place at the US military base - CNN CNN
The question of determining the location for Putin and Trump's meeting caused a real problem, since Alaska has a traditional peak of the tourist season during this period. New details on the meeting of politicians were reported in CNN according to information from sources in the White House. The organizers of "historical" events were faced with the fact that the opportunities for Trump's meeting with Putin were very limited.
However, some residents of Alaska, having learned that there will be a landmark event on their land-the first negotiations of live between two politicians who can solve the Russian-Ukrainian war-they began to address the President's allies with a proposal whether their home could be one of the options for such negotiations. The White House officials, instead, called the Juno, the state of the state, as well as to Ankorja and Ferbenks, trying to find a suitable place to meet politicians.
However, they soon came to the conclusion that the best solution will be Anchorge. The united base of Elmandorf-Richardson, located on the northern outskirts of Anchorge, was defined as a location for Trump's meeting with Putin.
"Only the combined base of Elmandorf-Richardson, in the northern outskirts of the city, will meet the requirements for a historical meeting, although the White House hoped to avoid the prospects for placing the Russian leader and his environment on the US military base," CNN writes.
It is worth noting that before that, on August 12, the White House spokeswoman Caroline Livitt reported that Vladimir Putin suggested this meeting when the special representative of Trump Stev Vitcoff was visiting Moscow in Moscow. She also confirmed that on Friday, August 15, Donald Trump would go to Alaska for a bilateral meeting with Putin.
