00:00Is Russia really contesting U.S. sovereignty over Alaska?

00:07Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin are meeting on Friday in Alaska,

00:11where U.S. and Russian territories practically touch.

00:14But the choice of venue is both practical and symbolic.

00:18The U.S. state was once a Russian colony.

00:21In 1867, Alaska was sold by Russia to the U.S. for $7.2 million,

00:27so that Moscow could pay off debts accrued during the Crimean War.

00:32Alaska was not considered economically critical for the Kremlin

00:34and was also seen as an extremely remote part of Russia's territory.

00:39Today, it is the largest U.S. state.

00:42Since the confirmation that Friday's Putin-Trump meetup will take place in Alaska,

00:46leading Kremlin officials have referenced Russia's historical claims to the territory.

00:52This Kremlin envoy also shared photographs of Russian Orthodox churches in the territory.

00:57Social media users have also been speculating that the U.S. president

01:01could be forced to hand back the territory to Putin.

01:04Speculation fueled by Trump appearing to confuse Alaska for Russia.

01:09You know, I'm going to see Putin. I'm going to Russia on Friday.

01:13Some social media users have also claimed a 2022 ruling from the Russian Supreme Court

01:18nullified the sale of Alaska to the U.S. in 1867.

01:23But we weren't able to identify any official court documents corroborating this claim.

01:28Other users claim Putin declared the sale of Alaska illegal in a January 2024 decree.

01:35The decree does exist.

01:37It relates to the protection of Russia's historic overseas assets.

01:41While some analysts say the Kremlin could use the decree to reopen historical territorial disputes,

01:46it makes no specific reference to Alaska or its 1867 sale to the U.S.
