Lavrov is stopping in Washington on his way to Alaska, where he and Tillerson will participate in a multinational Arctic Council meeting. Russia’s TASS news service reported that the two men originally planned to meet one-on-one in Fairbanks but added the Washington sit-down at the last minute.

It’s unclear when the meeting with Trump was set, but it is customary for the president to receive a visiting Russian foreign minister. Tillerson met with Putin during his April 12 visit to the Kremlin.

The shortest distance between Russia and Alaska is via Washington, honest. Just ask Sarah Palin.
