quote:Not even close. Little Diomede Island, Alaska, USA is only 2.4 miles from Big Diomede Island, Chukotka, Russia.
Iceland is almost as close as Russia.
The distance from mainland to mainland at the narrowest point in the Bering Strait is only 55 miles. Cuba, for example, is 90 miles.
ETA: Iceland is 3,559 miles from the closest point to the US, as the crow flies.

Well obviously Alaska and Russia are extremely close as you noted. But Alaska is not commonly included in the “continental” United States.
