CNN: "Putin-Trump meeting" will be held at a military base in Anchorage
American cable news network CNN reported, citing unnamed officials from the White House, that the meeting between Russian President Putin and US President Trump will take place at Elmendorf-Richardson Military Base in Anchorage, Alaska.
The TV station reported: "Only the Elmendorf-Richardson Joint Base located in the northern suburbs of the city meets the requirements for a historic meeting. Despite the White House's desire to avoid publicizing the scene of the Russian leader and his entourage being received within the US military base. According to two White House officials, the meeting will take place at the base on August 15."
The report pointed out that the choice of venue for the meeting in Alaska, which was previously part of the Russian Empire, is limited because it is currently in the peak tourist season.
Kremlin and White House announced last week that Russian President Putin and US President Trump will meet in Alaska on August 15. On August 12, White House spokesperson Caroline Leavitt said that the summit would be held in Anchorage.
