Convoys, hotels, agents: Inside Alaska Summit

His short-term rentals typically house tourists bound for glaciers, or business travellers passing through. This time, the request came from the US Secret Service. “Most of my short-term rentals were booked, but I did manage to put some of them into one home,” he said.
It was not the last inquiry connected to the highly anticipated summit between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin set for Friday. Soon after the Secret Service call, the Russian consulate in New York phoned Disbrow with the same request.
