2025 Russia–United States summit

The 2025 Russia–United States Summit (also known as the Trump–Putin Summit in Alaska) was a summit meeting between United States president Donald Trump and Russian president Vladimir Putin. It was held on August 15, 2025, at Joint Base Elmendorf–Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska. The main topic of discussion was the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war. The summit ended without an agreement being announced, although Trump later intimated that in his view the onus was now on Ukraine to cede territory in order to end the war.

It was the first time Putin was invited to a Western country since he ordered the full-scaleRussian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Putin faces an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (of which the U.S. is not a member) for alleged war crimes. It was also the first time that a Russian presidential visit to the United States has been held on a U.S. military property. It was the first meeting between Trump and Putin since Trump was reelected in 2024, the first between them as sitting presidents since their last meeting in 2019 in Osaka, their first summit since the 2018 Helsinki Summit, and the first meeting between presidents of both countries since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which occurred eight months after the 2021 Geneva Summit between Joe Biden and Putin. It was Putin's first visit to the United States since 2015 when he attended the 70th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York City. It was also the first US-hosted meeting between the presidents of Russia and the United States since 2007, when Putin met with George W. Bush in Maine.
