Putin's Team Shocks Trump: 'Return Alaska To Russia' Calls In Spotlight; Not Just Ukraine In Danger?

The upcoming summit between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, set to take place in Anchorage, Alaska on August 15, has reignited controversy over the territory. The meeting, which will focus on the ongoing war crisis in Ukraine, has brought attention to growing calls in Russia to reclaim Alaska, a region that was sold to the United States by Tsar Alexander II in 1867 for $7.2 million. The land deal would be worth approximately $156 million today. The summit’s venue has intensified this debate, as it taps into lingering resentments in Russia over the loss of the territory, which became a US state in 1959. Watch the full video for more.
