Alaska Summit: How a Trump-Putin Meeting Could Impact India

India officially endorsed the summit, viewing it as an opportunity for peace and potentially improved trade relationships. The timing was noteworthy, with recent diplomatic engagements between Indian Prime Minister Modi and both Putin and Zelensky underscoring India's consistent call for a peaceful resolution to the conflict.

The proposed Trump-Putin summit in Alaska in August 2025 generated considerable interest in India. The summit's location, Alaska, was chosen for its proximity to Russia, logistical advantages, and symbolic significance, given its historical connection to Russia. The primary goal was to end the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

India's interest stemmed from the potential impact on its trade relations with both the US and Russia. India had been purchasing discounted Russian oil, leading to US tariffs imposed by Trump. A successful resolution to the Ukrainian conflict could alleviate these tensions and lead to the removal of these tariffs.
