Trump and Putin are set to meet in Alaska on August 15 to discuss ending the war in Ukraine, with Trump having imposed a deadline for Russia to agree to a ceasefire or face more sanctions. The meeting in Anchorage holds historical significance due to Alaska once being Russian territory. The leaders aim to address their differing demands regarding Ukrainian territories and military presence, amidst ongoing tensions over Russia's invasion of Ukraine and fears of NATO expansion.
