White House officials have arrived in Alaska and are actively preparing for the historic meeting of Trump and Putin.
American officials, who received an urgent instruction to fix President Donald Trump and his colleague in Russia, immediately faced the main problem: Tag -Sun was the climax of the tourist period in Alaska, so the possibilities for communication became limited, CNN reports in their story.
Therefore, the Summit’s organizers soon ended the only “viable” option for the meeting was the city of Ankorida, where the United Military Base of Elmendorf-Richardson was located outside the country.
Quick training
According to journalists, the meeting of the two leaders is still in the process of the organization, as Russian officials want to make their own adjustments.
The Russian side even started the talks of state secretary Marco Rubio and Russian Federation’s Foreign Affairs Minister Sergey Lavrov about the discussion of “some training aspects.”
Usually, the White House pays a lot of attention to high -rate summits and maintains extensive negotiations on the other side related to the agenda and results, but even Trump himself said he approached this meeting as “opening”, with little preliminary expectations about how it passed.
“The President feels:” Look, I have to look at this person through the table. I need to see him face to face. I have to listen to her face to face. I need to make an assessment, looking at him, “Rubio said on Tuesday in a morning radio interview with Sid Rosenberg, who offered one of the explanations of why Putin’s five famous phone calls were not enough to determine the purpose of Russian leader.
Landing in Alaska
At the same time, resources to the Trump administration at CNN noted that the White House and the Kremlin decided to choose Alaska as a place for the summit after a long backstage conversation. According to resources, there are few areas appropriate for the meeting, especially considering Putin’s arrest for war crimes issued by the International Criminal Court in 2023.
Because of this fact, Russia avoids Europe – even in cities like Vienna or Geneva, where leaders of the United States and Russia have been identified since the Cold War. Although Putin himself called the United Arab Emirates a “perfectly appropriate” place, many in the White House wanted to avoid Trump’s journey to the Middle East.
Ultimately, everyone was reduced to the fact that Hungary could make a meeting, as prime minister Viktor Orban was close to both Trump and Putin.
However, the President of Russia has come up with flying to Alaska, which is incredible -believing surprising American officials, are increasing the media.
Personal meetings with Putin
The last time Putin was met by former President Joe Biden in 2021 in Geneva. Then the date and place were announced in three weeks, but the planning between Russian and American officials began a month before.
Biden, who was traveling throughout Europe for a week, spent the days before meeting intensive preparations with leading advisers, who devoted the time to the morning to study the potential directions for developing and predicting some steps of Putin. He consulted with other leaders, including the German Chancellor to get advice on how to approach the Russian leader known for his cunning, remembering the publication.
At the time of assembly, the assistants planned the sun in the smallest details, including the procedure for the advent of the leaders, the duration of each session and the type of flowers on the table (it was white roses). American officials also make sure that in the refrigerator of the 18th -century villa, where the meeting took place, there were bottles of an orange gatorade with a potus inscription.
In the first term, Trump and Putin also found a front of Helsinki during the 2018 Summit, which ended at a significant moment when Trump rode Putin about American intelligence services in Russia’s intervention in election.
Trump’s first meeting with Putin was in 2017 at the G20 Summit in Hamburg. Then he also passed face to face.
Just meeting with translators
Therefore, traditionally Trump on Friday will hold at least part of the negotiations with Putin face to face. During the conversation, nothing but their translators would have.
“This is part of the plan,” the Press secretary of the White House Carolina Livitt said when he was asked if the leaders would meet.
The CNN noted that for the presidents it was not uncommon to meet with his colleagues, but that did not apply to Trump’s negotiations with Putin. So, in Trump’s first time, when he met the Kremlin leader, even though older officials remained unaware of what was somewhat discussed, as their assistants asked to leave.
“In the two previous Trump meetings with Putin, in both cases, translators were present, but not high assistant assistants. After a meeting in Germany, Trump reported even though his translator asked to give his records,” journalists said.
