In a surprising stumble ahead of critical Russia–Ukraine peace talks, guests at the Hotel Captain Cook in Anchorage discovered eight pages of U.S. government documents left in a public printer. The printout—prepared by the Office of the Chief of Protocol—detailed everything from Trump’s planned gift to Putin (an American Bald Eagle desk statue) and a luncheon menu to seating charts, meeting times, and aides' phone numbers. While officials dismissed it as harmless, the incident raised concerns over careless handling of sensitive logistics during high-stakes diplomacy. Zelenskyy is now scheduled to visit the White House for follow-up talks.
