President Donald Trump met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday for peace talks regarding the Ukraine war.

As the leaders of the United States and Russia met on Anchorage’s Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson on Friday, supporters of Ukraine’s defense against Russia’s invasion staged multiple demonstrations in Alaska to protest the meeting and what they predicted would be capitulation to Russian goals.

President Donald Trump has yet to exit Air Force One, as he remains on board exchanging greetings with Alaskan senators Lisa Murkowski and Dan Sullivan as well as Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy, according to a White House official.

Demonstrations have been held in the city home to about 300,000 people for several days, protesting the reception of Putin on US soil and holding talks on Ukraine without the participation of its President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

It was a welcome tailored for a close friend, not a war criminal, and it looked to the Ukrainians like their nightmare.

Conservative activist Laura Loomer complained on social media about children from Gaza arriving in the U.S. for medical treatment and questioned how they got visas.

Donald Trump faced a public protest on Thursday night ahead of his one-on-one meeting with Vladimir Putin in Alaska.

The documents reportedly included plans for a canceled luncheon, seating charts, a gift presentation and phone numbers for U.S. and Russian officials.

Trump and Putin “looked like buddies” during their initial greetings in Alaska Friday – but the dynamic had shifted by the end of their visit, according to a body language expert.
