US President Donald Trump is under scrutiny for mistakenly stating he was "going to Russia" for a meeting with Putin, despite previously announcing it would be in Alaska. The choice of Alaska as the summit location is strategic, with historical ties to Russia and serving as a neutral ground for diplomatic talks on ending the war in Ukraine. Although Trump's slip of the tongue sparked discussion about his attention to detail, it is unlikely to derail the upcoming summit, which aims to make progress towards peace in the region.
