Make Alaska Russian Again?!

VIDEO PODCAST 🎧 Dissecting the many layers of significance to today's Trump-Putin summit in Anchorage

Make Alaska Russian Again?!

The Trump-Putin summit in Alaska is set to be a geopolitical circus. In this episode of the Energy Flux: On Air podcast, I unpack some of the less-discussed issues that will colour today’s meeting.

I cover:

  • Why some in Moscow might be eyeing Alaska’s mineral wealth
  • How a land-swap-for-ceasefire could reshape Ukraine’s future
  • The sanctions relief carrot Trump might dangle — and why I’m sceptical
  • How the Armenia-Azerbaijan peace deal frames today’s summit
  • What the Zangezur Corridor gambit tells us about real estate diplomacy
  • What all this could mean for LNG markets already swimming in supply

There’s also a quick update at the end on what I’ve been building here at Energy Flux: new data tools, a members-only discussion forum, and an AI-powered daily briefing for premium subscribers.
