President Donald Trump announced today that he will meet, in Alaska, with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Aug. 15.

“The highly anticipated meeting between myself, as President of the United States of America, and President Vladimir Putin, of Russia, will take place next Friday, August 15, 2025, in the Great State of Alaska,” Trump posted to his Truth Social account. “Further details to follow. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

The details of the meeting are yet to be announced, but many anticipate that the world leaders will engage in high level discussions about Russia’s ongoing war in Ukraine.

The White House has confirmed that it received a list of demands from Russia that spell out how Russia could agree to a ceasefire.

Moments before announcing the Alaska meeting, Trump told reporters that he believes the Ukraine and Russia are “very close to a deal.”

“I’ll be meeting very shortly with President Putin. It would have been sooner, but I guess their security arrangements, that unfortunately people have to make, otherwise I’d do it much quicker. He’s like to meet as soon as possible, and I agree with it.”

When asked if this was Putin’s last chance at peace, he said he does not like to use that term. Trump added that the war would never have happened if he had been president.

“This is not my war,” he said. “This is Biden’s war.”

He then credited NATO for stepping up spending on defense.

“I will say Europe wants to see peace,” he said, adding that he also believes Ukraine President Zalinski and Putin also want an end to the war.

This is a developing story.

    What do bet Princess Lisa shows her ugly mug in order to get some camera time. Trump should ban her from any participation is this historic event. She has never supported him, and has yet to apologize to him, or her constituents for her impeachment vote over a total hoax.

      Hate to disappoint, but Trump and news hour in DC stated he was going to Russia for the conversation, not Alaska. I hope he does. Putin is a thug and he is better off in his own country.

    I can’t wait to see the Anchorage/Portland protesters outside the base entrances. They’re not storming the gates and getting in.

      Why was my comment changed. It was sent 10:58 pm August 8th not today.

      I can’t wait to see the Anchorage/Portland protesters outside the base entrances.
      Remember losers they have guns and you’re not storming the gates and getting in.

    I’m ashamed that our state is being used to host an international war criminal and a twice impeached felon and pedophile.

    • Davesmaxwell says:

      in order to be ashamed you have to have the capability of feeling it!

    • steve says:

      If your so ashamed then invite some of your liberal friends to join you and move to California, where you can be unashamed. You’d probably be much more comfortable there since California has no shame, and doesn’t know the definition of the word shame. I think your confusion the emotion of shame with the emotion of feeling like a constant loser.

    • Proud Alaskan says:

      Yes I voted for Trump and I’m not ashamed.

      • Manny Mullen says:

        That is an admission of racism, cruelty and corruption, and that’s just three out of hundreds of appropriate insults. You’ve lost your integrity but, good news, you’ve retained your gullibility.

    Have Mercy and Grace on Tina Peters and direct angels to immediately bring the Freedom keys to open her prison cell. Let justice replace the corruption of injustice. Let Freedom Ring With humility. And oversight with The Holy Spirit……. COPY AND OPEN →→ rb.gy/uvl61c
