Trump, Putin to meet at Alaska’s largest military base: Why was this remote site chosen?

US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin will meet on August 15 at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska. The choice followed weeks of planning, limited venue availability and strict security needs. The base, steeped in Cold War history, offers unmatched security — and symbolic significance as land once owned by Russia
