00:00A frozen military base in the wilderness of Alaska is the stage for one of the most significant

00:20summits in modern history between the US President Donald Trump and Russian President

00:27Vladimir Putin. The two leaders are meeting at Elmendorf Richardson, a high security base

00:34located just 55 miles from Russia. Elmendorf Richardson has long been a crucial military

00:49outpost, guarding the US from Soviet threats during the Cold War. Today, it houses over

00:5632,000 personnel alongside wildlife like grizzly bears and moose. While its harsh remote location

01:05makes it an unlikely venue, its security is unrivaled, making it the only base capable of

01:13hosting such a high-stakes summit. The base's significance is also historical. Once part of

01:20the Russian Empire, Alaska was sold to the US by Tsar Alexander II in 1867. Now, Trump and

01:30Putin sit on the land that was once Russian territory, adding a layer of symbolism to their discussions.

01:37So, the question is, why Alaska? Alaska's strategic position at the intersection of North America

01:46and Russia makes it an ideal meeting point. Additionally, the US is not a signatory to the

01:53International Criminal Court, which means Putin, who faces an ICC arrest warrant over war crimes,

02:00Trump and Putin's meeting will focus on the ongoing war in Ukraine, with both leaders looking to

02:17secure their interests on the global stage. Elmendorf Richardson, with its mix of history and military

02:24might, symbolises the delicate balance of power between the two superpowers. Whether the summit

02:31leads to a breakthrough or a standoff, the location will serve as a powerful reminder of how geopolitics,

02:39history and diplomacy intersect. In the end, this remote ice fortress will echo in history long after the meeting ends.
