President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin landed at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson Friday morning, with Putin arriving from Moscow by way of a refueling stop in Magadan in Russia’s Far East.
Trump was accompanied aboard Air Force One by senior adviser Dan Scavino, part of the president’s close-knit team traveling to Alaska for the summit. Others on Air Force One include Monica Crowley, as earlier reported by Must Read Alaska.
The two leaders are meeting at the base to negotiate a potential end to the Ukraine conflict, now in its fourth year. Trump has said his primary goal is securing a ceasefire, although he has also signaled willingness to discuss possible “land swapping” as part of a settlement framework.
The summit schedule includes a private one-on-one meeting with translators, followed by expanded talks involving members of each leader’s delegation. The day will conclude with a joint press conference. Discussions are set to begin around 11:30 am local time and wrap up later the same day.
Also on the schedule is a meeting between Gov. Mike Dunleavy and the president, with the likely topic being the gasline that both are committed to building from the Arctic.
A rally in support of the president’s efforts for peace is set to begin at the Midtown Mall, on the corner of Seward Highway and Northern Lights Blvd.
This is an Historic Day!
I’m Hoping for all good things to come!
Just want Lisa to go about her leftist agenda away from our President’s important work here in Anchorage. She needs to go play her silly games elsewhere while the adults are addressing a more serious agenda.
As one watches the phenomenal expense of all this travel to meet with a communist scumbag… the US national debt just rolled past $37 trillion dollars, and the debt is now a staggering $108,000.00 per American- and $323,000 per taxpayer.
All of this could have been done via a video conference, without giving a gangster the world attention he craves.
And we’d not have spent millions and millions of dollars that we don’t have.
I expect a great many of us are happy that you are not in charge of international relations.
But aren’t you one of those that thinks the federal government is bloated?
The other side of the coin would have the President hiding in his Oral office and calling Putin a killer like the cowardly lion before him that provoked the war in the first place and the huge cash flow to Ukraine started like a flood to repay Ukraine for all the cash received by Biden Inc. while Obama wasnt looking…..Or was He?
……or $50K a month to Hunter Biden through Ukraine’s gas company Barisma. The Vice-President’s son, an idiot with a huge drug and prostitute addiction, was busy stuffing his bank accounts with US taxpayer’s money channeled to the corrupt Ukrainians under Obama. A few years later he was doing the same thing with ChiComs, and kicking back 50% to daddy Joe. Such a clean bunch of Democrat leaders, and heros to all Americans who have a running psychopathy better known as TDS. ….. the parasite that eats the mind.
Ok, Boeing VC-25A (747-200B) vs Il-96-300… And the winner is… The Boeing MAGA-Mobile… Sorry Putin but the specs just don’t add up… ***
Putin’s looked more like a 767-300. Even had winglets. I wonder if the Ruskies stole the design. Many of their aircraft, civilian and military look like US design.
My cat said “Prump and Tutin” met at JBER! I did try to correct her, but she may have been trolling me, because she said it again!
