Trump and Putin “looked like buddies” during their initial greetings in Alaska Friday – but the dynamic had shifted by the end of their visit, according to a body language expert.

Papers bearing U.S. State Department markings and detailing President Donald Trump’s summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin were discovered in the business center of an Anchorage hotel, raising new questions about the handling of sensitive government information.

Government documents with details about meeting schedules and seating charts − as well as an extravagant menu − were accidentally left in a hotel printer.

Halibut Olympia, a Tuesday-night kind of recipe, was part of the planning (if not the eating) at the Friday meeting.

Anchorage Mayor Suzanne LaFrance said her administration is standing by to provide any assistance that may be needed.
