U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin met in Anchorage, Alaska, on Aug. 15 to discuss the Russia-Ukraine War.
The two leaders arrived early morning at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson where the summit was scheduled to take place.
Trump and Putin gave a joint press conference following their meeting. The agreements between the two parties were not disclosed during the conference.
“We had an extremely productive meeting, and many points were agreed to,” said Trump.
Putin, speaking in Russian to reporters, said relations between Russia and the U.S. were at their lowest point since the Cold War and that a meeting between the two heads of state was long overdue.
Putin is the first Russian head of state in history to visit Alaska, as reported by KTUU.
After a phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy about the Alaska Summit, the two leaders announced they would meet in Washington, D.C., on Monday, Aug. 18, according to Axios.
