Leavitt confirmed that Trump is going to Alaska but did not close the door to him visiting Putin in Russia down the road. "Perhaps there are plans in the future to travel to Russia and on Friday the president will be meeting with the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, in Alaska, as you know," she said.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said that Donald Trump would meet Vladimir Putin 'one on one' during a briefing in DC on Tuesday. "Does the President plan to meet with Putin one-on-one?" she was asked.
