Anchorage, Alaska – eyes around the world are riveted on anchorage, where the future of Ukraine is taking shape, thousands of kilometers away.
On the eve of the summit between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, scheduled for Friday, the city displayed a rather serene, imperturbable image. How not to bow before these majestic mountains which surround the city?
In the city center, no sign indicated that this place was about to receive the strong man from Moscow. The Trump-Puttine meeting will be without drum or trumpet at the highly secure military base of Elmendorf-Richardson.
The city center was rather empty, apart from a few homeless who wandered here and there, tourists and the multitude of foreign journalists gathered at the Congress Center.

And to the question: what does she think of the Trump-Putine meeting? This summit is a waste of time, two horrible personalities meet, with their own political interest, and any resolution will be untenable anyway.
A little further, the tone is different. I hope Donald Trump will succeed with this ceasefire and reason Vladimir Putin, says a Pennsylvania tourist. After all, these two men have known each other for a long time.
