Washington, Aug. 14 -- First high-level bilateral meeting on U.S. soil since 1988-the Governors Island Summit-and the first in the U.S. since the early Cold War era is set to take place on August 15, 2025, in Anchorage, Alaska, between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The core focus will be on ending Russia's war in Ukraine-now entering its fourth year. Discussions are expected to center on ceasefire negotiations, peace proposals, potential territorial adjustments, and broader global security issues.

According to Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov, the summit will begin around 11:30 a.m. local time with a private one-on-one meeting between the leaders, then proceed to delegation talks and a working lunch.
