The last in-person meeting between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump prior to August 15, 2025, occurred on June 28, 2019, during the G20 Summit in Osaka, Japan.

President Trump literally rolled out the red carpet and then stood there to greet and welcome his guest to American soil in Alaska:

The handshake, the greeting, and then the walk afterwards:

Both appeared to be in good spirits:

Body language was strong but positive on both sides:

Here’s more from CBS:

In a carefully choreographed moment, Mr. Trump descended the steps of Air Force One moments before Putin came down the steps of his plane, stepping onto U.S. soil for the first time in about a decade.

Both Mr. Trump and Putin walked down their respective red carpets, with Mr. Trump waiting for Putin at the end and clapping. Both Mr. Trump and Putin extended their hands and shook, patting each other on the arm and exchanging words as they smiled.

The two ascended the platform in front of the fighter jets where they shook hands again. Neither Mr. Trump nor Putin answered shouted questions from reporters. Other fighter jets flew overhead.

In an unusual moment, Putin joined Mr. Trump in his vehicle, the Beast, with seemingly no aides or interpreters with them. Putin smiled as the vehicle began to drive away.
