A B-2 Greeting to Vladimir Putin in Alaska

We’re still waiting to hear from President Trump and Vladimir Putin as they meet in Alaska. But the summit began with a truly stunning visual, as a Northrop B-2 Spirit bomber, flanked by four U.S. fighter jets, flew over Putin and Trump on the red carpet.

For everyone who was worried about how Trump would handle the negotiations with Putin, that was, at minimum, a loud and clear demonstration of American military power and a sign that the U.S. will not be intimidated by Russia at any point in these discussions.
