Trump-Putin summit lunch menu and precious gifts: What the eight-page printout revealed about the Alaska meet

Several documents with undisclosed details pertaining to the meeting between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin were found at the hotel printer in Alaska’s Anchorage hours before the summit.

According to news outlet NPR, an eight-page printout was discovered by three guests at the four-star Hotel Captain Cook. The documents reportedly contained non-public information such as President Trump’s gift for Vladimir Putin and their anticipated lunch menu.

The printout revealed little if any sensitive security information, as most scheduled items on the agenda for the summit on the military’s Joint Base Elmendorf–Richardson already were public information.

The documents carried information pertaining to the scheduled lunch, which was ultimately aborted. The menu was to include filet mignon with brandy peppercorn sauce and a salad with champagne vinaigrette. According to NPR, a third included a seating chart with the two presidents centered around a boardroom-style table.

Two additional pages contained the names, photos, and participants of an anticipated expanded meeting between Russian and US officials. The news outlet also reported that, according to the printout, aides were instructed that the Russian president’s name is pronounced “POO-tihn.”

It further revealed the US president intended to gift Putin an American bald eagle desk statue and listed three phone numbers of advance staffers who helped set up the events. The White House had already published most of the scheduled events listed in the document. Though much ultimately did not take place or was abbreviated.

Trump-Putin summit: Key highlights

Putin and Trump on Friday (August 15, 2025) wrapped up their talks in the US city of Anchorage in Alaska, but no deal was reached. The talks, which lasted about three hours, focused primarily on the Ukraine crisis, as well as on reshaping bilateral relations that have largely stalled in recent years.

Putin told Trump that in exchange for Donetsk and Luhansk, he would halt further advances and freeze the frontline in the southern Ukrainian region of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia, where Russian forces occupy significant areas.

Russian forces control about 70 percent of the Donetsk region. Ukraine still has control over the region's westernmost chain of cities, which are said to be critical to Kyiv's military operation and defenses along the eastern front.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said that he would not swap territory with Russia and would not allow a second partition of the country. He is meeting Trump on Monday in Washington, where this topic will certainly come up.
