Documents found at a hotel in Alaska reveal details of the Trump-Putin summit

US State Department documents, found Friday morning at a hotel mall in Alaska, uncovered details previously unknown and potentially sensitive about the August 15th meetings between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Anchorage.

Eight pages, which seem to have been produced by US team staff and left accidentally behind, contained the exact location and schedules of summit meetings and phone numbers of US government employees.

About 9:00am Friday morning, three guests at the Captain Cook Hotel, a four-star hotel located 20 minutes from the Elmendorf-Richardson Joint Base in Anchorage, where leaders from the US and Russia gathered, found the papers left behind in one of the hotel's public printers.

The first page revealed the meeting sequence for August 15th, including specific names of rooms within the base in Anchorage, where they would be held. He also discovered that Trump intended to give Putin a ceremonial gift.

“POTUS for President Putin”, says in document, “The statue of American Eagle Tullace”.

On Saturday, White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly dismissed the documents as a multipaged “lunchmanu” and suggested that leaving information on a public printer did not constitute a security breach. The U.S. State Department did not respond to the requests for comment.

Pages 2 to 5 of the documents listed the names and telephone numbers of three US staff members, as well as the names of 13 US and Russian state leaders. The list offered phenomatic translators to all Russian men expected to be participants in the summit, including the one in which “Z wrote. President PO-tichn”.

Pages 6 and 7 described how lunch would be served in the summit and for whom. A menu included in the documents indicated that lunch would be held “in honour of its excellence Vladimir Putin”.

A tableboard shows that Putin and Trump had to sit in front of each other at lunchtime.

Trumpi would be accompanied by six officials: Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles on his right, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Trade Secretary Howard Lutnick and Special Envoy for Peace Missions Steve Whitk on his left. Putin would sit immediately with his foreign affairs minister, Sergey Lavrov, and his deputy for Foreign Policy, Yuri Usshakov.

During Friday's summit, lunch was apparently canceled. But the documents indicated that it was supposed to be a simple meal of three dishes.

Jon Michaels, a professor of justice at U The CLA, which is lecturing national security, has said that documents found on a hotel printer in Alaska reveal a lack of professional judgment in preparation for a high-risk meeting.

The “seems to me as further proof of the carelessness and inadequacy of administration”, Michaels said. You just don't leave things on printers. It's so simple”, He added it.

The printed documents are the latest example of a series of security violations by administration officials Trump. Earlier this week, members of a group of talk about law enforcement involving members of US Migration and Customs (ICE) added a random person to a conversation about an ongoing search for a convicted assassination attempt.

In March, US national security leaders accidentally involved a journalist in a group conversation about close military attacks on Yemen. /Periscopi/
