Sen. Sullivan: Trump-Putin Meeting is Historic Opportunity in World’s Most Strategic Location—Alaska
ANCHORAGE, ALASKA—U.S. Senator Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska), a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC), today released the following statement on President Donald Trump’s announcement that he will host a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska next Friday.
“On the same day President Trump oversaw the signing of a historic peace framework between Armenia and Azerbaijan, the President has now announced a summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin fittingly located in the most strategic place in the world—Alaska. It will be an honor for our state to host yet another important meeting between world leaders, as we did between President Reagan and Pope John Paul II in 1984, and between President Nixon and the Emperor of Japan in 1971. Alaskans stand ready to support this important effort for peace and welcome President Trump and his team.”
Since being reelected last November, President Trump has brokered peace deals, the normalization of relations, or ceasefires between Armenia and Azerbaijan, Thailand and Cambodia, Israel and Iran, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, India and Pakistan, Serbia and Kosovo, and Egypt and Ethiopia. In his first term, President Trump delivered the historic Abraham Accords, establishing peaceful relations between Israel and the nations of Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Morocco and Sudan.
