Overview

• Three Hotel Captain Cook guests discovered an eight-page packet of logistical documents in a public printer hours before President Trump met President Putin in Anchorage.
• Produced by the Office of the Chief of Protocol, the packet outlined room schedules at Joint Base Elmendorf–Richardson, a seating chart, official profiles, phonetic name guides and a planned luncheon menu.
• The printout included personal phone numbers for three U.S. advance-team staffers, prompting questions about operational security.
• White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly and State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott dismissed the materials as a “multi-page lunch menu” and denied any security breach.
• Media coverage highlighted the procedural lapse as emblematic of broader scrutiny of the contentious summit, which concluded without a ceasefire agreement or inclusion of Ukraine.
