The President of the United States, Donald Trump, announced on August 15 that he would be going to Russia, but this statement may possibly be a verbal mistake. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
In fact, he is scheduled to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in the U.S. state of Alaska on that day. This was reported by the Pravilamag publication.
Trump's statement "I am going to Russia" was made during a press conference held at the White House, broadcast live by C-SPAN. The Kremlin also confirmed this meeting, stating that it makes logical sense for it to be held in Alaska.
The meeting will discuss issues related to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. For reference, Donald Trump has been to Russia five times.
His first visit took place in July 1987 for the purpose of exploring business opportunities with the USSR. At that time, he reviewed a hotel construction project in collaboration with the Soviet government and the "Intourist" company.
His last visit was in 2013, where he participated in the "Miss Universe" beauty pageant he organized in Moscow. This event is considered to have significant political importance against the backdrop of U.S.-Russia relations.
The meeting between Trump and Putin creates an important opportunity to discuss pressing issues between the two countries
