US President Donald Trump has taken off from Andrews airbase outside Washington, D.C., for Anchorage, Alaska, for a summit with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin.
Their meeting is scheduled to begin at 11:30 am (19:30 GMT) and will be held at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage.
The two leaders will meet to discuss an end to the more than three-year war in Ukraine in what will be their first standalone summit since 2018 in Helsinki.
Trump and Putin are expected to be accompanied by high-powered delegations when they meet in Alaska.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told the Fox and Friends show on Fox News that the two leaders would meet one-on-one first, followed by a lunch with their delegations.
Trump has said he would like to see a second meeting in Alaska “soon” between Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who was not invited to today’s talks.
