Live from NPR News, I'm Janine Herbst. President Trump is in Anchorage, Alaska, where he greeted his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin.

In Pierce Franco, Ordonia's reports on the high-stakes summit aimed at ending Russia's war in Ukraine.

Two leaders shook hands on the tarmac at Joint Base Elmdorf-Ritchardson as a B-2 bomber and F-35 fighter jets flew overhead.

Flying with reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump projected confidence ahead of the summit.

they'll continue to cooperate with federal authorities as Trump's attempt to reshape Washington, D.C.

unfolds.

And here's Brian Mann.

A federal judge in Florida has struck down key parts of a law that helped people remove books from public schools calling the law overbroad.
