President Trump stated on Friday, "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." President Trump has threatened to increase sanctions over President Putin's hesitancy to negotiate a ceasefire in Ukraine. The Russian president recently stated that he's willing to end the war if Ukraine cedes power over the Donetsk and Luhansk regions in addition to the Crimean Peninsula. |
