Melania Trump wrote a personal letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin for President Donald Trump to hand-deliver during the Alaska summit. The two world leaders sat down together in Anchorage on Aug.

All eyes will be the Alaskan city that has provided a world stage for presidents and leaders in recent history

President Trump will meet Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday in Anchorage, Alaska, for what White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt billed as a “listening exercise.”

President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin are scheduled to meet Friday at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska, to discuss the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

Achieving a peace agreement is an even higher bar than the ceasefire that has eluded the Trump administration in recent months.

One key party who will not be in attendance Friday at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska, is Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Trump said Thursday he hopes the summit will lead to a second meeting that would include Zelenskyy.
