Washington.- The summit next Friday between the U.S. presidents, Donald Trump, and Russia's, Vladimir Putin, will take place at the military base Elmendorf-Richardson in the city of Anchorage, in the U.S. territory of Alaska, as confirmed by the White House.
The location of the bilateral meeting to discuss a truce in Ukraine was confirmed by an official from the Trump Administration, cited by the newspaper The Washington Post.
The military enclave located north of Anchorage would be the only one to meet the security requirements for a meeting of such magnitude, the first between leaders of the two countries since the beginning of Moscow's invasion of Ukrainian territory in 2022.
The meeting between Trump and Putin will be held next Friday, August 15th, in Alaska, a U.S. territory that was part of Russia until 1867.

The White House spokeswoman, Karoline Leavitt, downplayed on Tuesday expectations that the summit would serve to close a peace agreement and said it would be a "listening exercise" for the Republican president. Leavitt also showed his confidence that a trilateral summit could be held in the future, also involving Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, and opened the door to the possibility of a future meeting being held in Russia. Prior to the meeting with Putin, Trump will hold calls today with Zelensky and the main European leaders, who maintain that peace cannot be achieved without taking their voice into account.
