The political scientist called the choice of Alaska for a meeting between Putin and Trump a one hundred percent hit.

The choice of Alaska as a venue for a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump is a one hundred percent hit. Political analyst Rafael Ordukhanyan told Izvestia about this on August 9.

"There are rumors that Putin suggested it, maybe even in a half-joking way, but Trump picked it up. I think that this is much more important than anything else, because they are on the same wavelength," he clarified.

Ordukhanyan stressed that choosing Alaska for a meeting place "without Europe, without Ukraine, one-on-one, together" is a one hundred percent hit.
