President Donald Trump will meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Aug. 15 in Alaska, Trump said in a social media post Friday.
The location, timing and other details were not immediately available. Staff for all three members of Alaska’s congressional delegation said they were unaware of the announcement ahead of time.
“The highly anticipated meeting between myself, as President of the United States of America, and President Vladimir Putin, of Russia, will take place next Friday, August 15, 2025, in the Great State of Alaska,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Trump has repeatedly said on social media that he is interested in negotiating with Putin in order to bring an end to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

JUNEAU – The City and Borough of Juneau and the Central Council of the Tlingit & Haida Tribes of Alaska have issued coordinated emergency disaster declarations ahead of a potentially historic glacial lake outburst flood from Suicide Basin near the Mendenhall Glacier.
Hydrologic data shows the water level could exceed past records, prompting proactive action to protect lives, property, and infrastructure. Officials say while flood barriers are in place, no risks will be taken.
Tlingit & Haida Vice President Jackie Pata says this step ensures “every tool is in place before the water rises,” following last year’s devastating flood.
The declarations allow emergency teams to mobilize now, activate equipment, establish permitting, and to provide public alerts. City Manager Katie Koester says this year, “We’re not just responding, we’re ready.”
Residents are urged to stay informed and prepared for possible evacuation. Visit JuneauFlood.com or the CBJ website for updates and resources.
