Networks will provide special coverage on Friday to President Donald Trump‘s summit in Alaska with Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss the ongoing war in Ukraine.
All the major news networks were at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson to capture Trump’s arrival, at 10:20 a.m. local time in Anchorage.
Fox News anchor Bret Baier interviewed Trump on the way from Air Force One.
“I think it’s going to work out very well and if it doesn’t, I’m going to head back home real fast,” Trump told Baier, adding that, “I would walk, yeah.” Baier will interview Trump on his return to D.C., and Sean Hannity, who has been in Alaska, will interview the president on Friday evening.
Also in Anchorage are CBS Evening News co-anchor John Dickerson and Face the Nation moderator Margaret Brennan and NBC Nightly News anchor Tom Llamas.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters that a planned one-on-one meeting between Trump and Putin will now be a three-on-three, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff joining the president.
“There’s nothing set in stone,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One. “I want certain things. I wanted to see a ceasefire. This has not to do with Europe. Europe’s not telling me what to do, but they’re going to be involved in the process obviously, as well as Zelensky. But I want to see a ceasefire rapidly.”
He said that territorial swaps would be discussed, “but I’ve got to let Ukraine make that decision.”
