Historic Summit in Alaska: World Braces for Putin-Trump Talks
11:27 15.08.2025 (Updated: 15:03 15.08.2025) The Russia-US summit is expected to begin at 07:00 PM GMT on August 15 at Alaska’s Elmendorf-Richardson military base. How will it go?
Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump will start with a one-on-one meeting with interpreters, followed by inter-delegation talks.
Both will make brief opening remarks.
After the discussions, Putin and Trump may hold a joint press conference.
The resolution of the Ukraine conflict.
Other topics such as bilateral economic cooperation and global security will also be addressed.
"No documents are planned to be signed following the summit", Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
The meeting will go ahead thanks to Putin and Trump's goodwill, according to Peskov.
"Such mutual political will is in short supply these days", he added. "It seems unlikely, for example, that we will receive an adequate response from the Europeans".
US envoy Steve Witkoff's visit to Russia was productive, and his signals paved the way for the Russian and American leaders’ meeting, Peskov said.
The preparations were made in a very short timeframe, but all necessary conditions were met
