The choice of location is historically important: both presidents are meeting on formerly Russian American soil.
Alaska belonged to Russia until 1867, when it was purchased by the United States. Then, in 1959, it became an American state.
Russian presidential deputy Yuri Usakov said it was a <x0logic” country to meet, as only the Bering Strait divides the two countries.
The duo will meet at the Elmandorf-Richardson Joint Base on the outskirts of Alaska's largest city, Anchorage, in the southern part of the state. /Periscopi
