Background:
- On 15 August 2025, Trump and Putin met in Anchorage, Alaska, marking Trump's first meeting with Putin during his second term as US president. It was also the first encounter between a US president and Putin since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
- Trump warmly welcomed the Kremlin leader in Alaska with a ceremonial red-carpet reception, despite Russian forces continuing to commit war crimes in Ukraine on Putin's orders.
- Media reports later said that during his meeting with Trump in Alaska on 15 August, Putin launched into a lengthy historical monologue that angered the US president, forcing him to raise his voice and even threaten to leave.
