In an interview with CBS news anchor Katie Couric, vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin defended her previous assertion that being governor of Alaska, a state which is in close proximity to Russia, constituted a required foreign policy experience. When asked of any foreign negotiations with Russia she had been involved with as governor, Palin said "We have trade missions back and forth." Palin also commented on the national security aspect of Russia's location to Alaska.

As Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where do they go? It's Alaska. It's just right over the border. It is from Alaska that we send those out to make sure that an eye is being kept on this very powerful nation, Russia, because they are right there, they are right next to our state."CBS: Exclusive: Palin On Foreign Policy (September 25, 2008) --Sarah Palin on Russia
