U.S. President Donald Trump arrived in Alaska on Friday for his high-stakes summit with Russia’s Vladimir Putin after saying he wants to see a ceasefire in the war in Ukraine “today”, - writes Al Jazeera.

The presidential airplane, Air Force One, has touched down in Alaska, shortly after a Russian government plane landed.

The White House has said that Trump will not be alone for his meeting with Putin, and will instead be joined by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff.

The post-meeting lunch will also be attended by Rubio, Witkoff, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth and Trump’s chief of staff Susie Wiles.
