When is Trump meeting Putin?
The two leaders will not be flanked by their advisers when they come face-to-face for the highly-anticipated meeting.
The last meeting between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin was in 2017.
What time is Trump meeting Putin?
The talks are scheduled to start at 11.30am local time (8.30pm BST) and will be followed by a press conference.
“This will be followed by negotiations between the delegations, which will continue over a working breakfast,” Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov said.
Putin and Mr Trump will then hold a press conference, during which they will “summarise the results of the negotiations,” Mr Ushakov added.
Where in Alaska is the summit?
The leaders will come face-to-face at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska.
Mr. Trump has visited the military base a number of times since he first took office in 2017.
With Alaska’s closest point to Russia being just three miles across the Bering Strait, the location appears to strategic and a win for both leaders.
Mike Dunleavy, Alaska’s Republican governor, described the northwestern state as a “bridge between nations”.
He said it is “the most strategic location in the world,” given its close proximity to Russia, and it “stands ready to host this historic meeting”.
Alaska used to be Russian territory:
Tsar Alexander II sold Alaska to the US in 1867 for $7.2m (£5.4m), and Russian nationalists have long dreamed of reclaiming it. (GSF)
