President Trump’s history of official visits to Alaska
President Trump’s most recent trip to Alaska happened between his terms in the white house.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) - It’s been three years since President Trump made an official visit to Alaska. This summit marks the first during his current term in the White House.
President Trump’s most recent trip to Alaska happened between his terms in the White House.
It was a time when U.S. House of Representatives candidate Sarah Palin’s campaign slogan, “we just need to drill, baby, drill,” ricocheted through American politics.
In July 2022, a sold-out Alaska Airlines Center hosted Trump in Anchorage during his Save America tour ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
At the rally, he fulfilled his promise to campaign against U.S. Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski, who voted to convict Trump after his second impeachment.
He supported her opponent, U.S. Senate candidate Kelly Tshibaka, as well as Palin.
“Show President Trump how much we love him,” Tshibaka said at the time.
Trump made three visits prior to this. In 2019, he shook hands with military members at JBER during stops to refuel Air Force One.
He stopped in February on the return flight from Vietnam and twice more in May and June 2019 during stops to and from Japan.
