Rubio held a conversation with Lavrov prior to Trump's encounter with Putin
The highly anticipated summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin took place on August 15, 2025, at Joint Base Elmendorf–Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska. The meeting marked the first time the two leaders had met as sitting presidents since 2019 and Putin's first visit to a U.S. military property since the invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
The main topic of discussion was the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian War, with Trump advocating for peace. However, the summit ended without a formal agreement.
The preparations for this significant diplomatic event were discussed in a phone call between U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. The Russian Foreign Ministry was the source of the report about this phone call.
The location of the summit in Alaska is historically and geopolitically significant, chosen for its strategic importance in these discussions.
