Meeting locations, a statue for Putin: Details of Alaska summit were left on hotel printer
Government documents with details about meeting schedules and seating charts − as well as an extravagant menu and reminder to pronounce President Vladimir Putin's name "POO-tihn," were accidentally left in a hotel printer in Alaska amid President Donald Trump's meeting with the Russian leader.
The documents with State Department markings, reported by NPR, were discovered in the printer in an Anchorage hotel around 9 a.m., hours before Trump's summit with Putin at a nearby military base.
Hotel guests shared the pages with NPR. The documents laid out the precise locations and meeting times of the summit at Joint Base Elmendorf–Richardson, as well as phone numbers of government employees and the menu for a planned three course lunch that did not occur, including which chairs the presidents would use.
The documents appear to have been produced by federal government staff and were left behind. Some of the information, including plans for a lunch and a news conference, was made public before the meeting took place.
