Eight sheets of paper, left behind a printer at the four-star Captain Cook Hotel in Anchorage, Alaska.

A hotel guest made that discovery on Friday morning local time, before the meeting between Trump and Putin.

The documents – which have apparently been forgotten by American officials – reveal a number of details about the meeting.

There are names and phone numbers of American officials as well as Russian representatives. On the first page is a detailed schedule, including information about which rooms various program items will take place, writes the American public service channel NPR, which has seen the documents.

Pronunciation tip: “POO-tihn”

To help the meeting participants, the Russian names were also written down as they should be pronounced.

"POO-tihn" and "Laav-rof" were the words, for example – as a tip for anyone who might feel unsure.

Trump had plans to give Putin a gift during the meeting, writes NPR, a statuette of a bald eagle, the national symbol of the United States.

Whether the Russian president accepted the gift and whether he brought anything in return is unknown.

During the lunch, the idea was for Putin and Trump to sit opposite each other, according to the included table arrangement. Putin would have his Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on his right, and his US counterpart Marco Rubio would sit on Trump's right.

The three-course menu included green salad with champagne vinaigrette, filet mignon and crème brûlée.

However, there was no lunch, writes NPR.

After a three-hour meeting, the presidents came out, announced that no agreement had been reached, and then quickly left without taking any questions.

Criticism: Carelessness and incompetence

In a comment to NPR, the White House downplays the significance of the documents, which press secretary Anna Kelly calls “a few pages of lunch menu.” She also says that this is not a security leak.

Professor Jon Michaels, who teaches national security, disagrees. Accidentally leaving papers where anyone can find them doesn't show good judgment for a meeting at this level.

"To me, it's further proof of the carelessness and incompetence of this administration. You just don't leave things in the printer. It's that simple," he told NPR.
