Donald Trump will host Vladimir Putin in Alaska - their first meeting in six years -as he tries to secure a Ukraine war ceasefire.

Be it sunbathing, surfing, or hiking, there's something for everyone at these underrated Alaska state beaches.

Republican lawmakers have been overwhelmingly complimentary of President Donald Trump meeting with Vladimir Putin and attempting to put the Russian leader in a room with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

The push for a bilateral meeting comes after the US president met Putin in Alaska last week, and welcomed seven European leaders and Zelensky to the White House on Monday. Trump admitted the conflict was "a tough one" to solve and conceded it was possible the Russian president was not interested in ending hostilities.
