Make It Make Sense with Grant Hermes
Why Is Trump Meeting Putin In Alaska?
Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin are set to meet in Anchorage, Alaska, on Friday to start another round of peace talks to end the war in Ukraine. It's the first time Putin will meet with a US president on US soil in a decade.
But why is it in Alaska? Sure, it's technically the closest state to Russia, but there's more to it.
Grant breaks down why meeting in Alaska is actually a win for Putin, what Trump has been saying about the meeting, and why the dance of diplomacy is about the small things.
