Trump-Putin meeting in Alaska: Why did Russia sell the territory to United States in 1867? Explained
US President Donald Trump is poised to hold a face-to-face summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday. Experts believe that the meeting could reshape the course of the war in Ukraine and redefine the future of European security. The talks are scheduled to take place at Elmendorf Air Force Base, a strategic military facility long tasked with monitoring threats to North America and notably active during the Cold War in tracking Soviet activity. The selection of Alaska -- once part of the Russian Empire before its sale to the United States in 1867 -- adds symbolic weight to the event as it will bring the two leaders together on land that carries deep historic resonance.
