U.S. President Donald Trump welcomed Russian President Vladimir Putin to Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson on Friday with a formal red-carpet ceremony and a military flyover that included B-2 stealth bombers, F-22 fighter jets, and F-35 aircraft.⁣
⁣
The base, a Cold War–era facility, is hosting the first meeting between a U.S. and Russian leader since 2021. Talks are expected to focus on a potential ceasefire in the conflict in Ukraine.⁣
⁣
Trump arrived aboard Air Force One before greeting Putin on the tarmac. The two leaders shook hands and exchanged smiles as the aircraft passed overhead. ⁣
⁣
According to U.S. officials, two B-2 bombers were flown in from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri, while the F-35 jets came from nearby Eielson Air Force Base and the F-22 planes were based locally.⁣
