Trump’s team was revealed to have planned to hold a commemorative banquet for Putin and also gift him a bald eagle statue. 特朗普团队被曝:本打算为普京举行纪念宴会,还要送一座白头海雕雕像.
In Alaska, a document documenting the agenda for the Trump-Putin summit was discovered—unbelievably, in a hotel printer. The document eventually made its way to NPR, which confirmed its authenticity.
The meeting was to be followed by a ceremonial dinner titled “A Tribute to His Excellency Vladimir Putin.” The final touch—Trump also intended to gift Putin a bald eagle statue, to be used as a symbol of the American national emblem.
Pages 2 through 5 of the document list the names and phone numbers of three American staff members, as well as the names of 13 US and Russian leaders. The list includes pronunciation tips for all Russian men expected to attend the summit, including “Mr. Putin (pronounced: POO-tihn).”
Pages 6 and 7 describe how the summit lunch would be served and for whom. A menu included in the documents states that the luncheon would be “held in honor of His Excellency Vladimir Putin.”
The seating chart indicates that Putin and Trump were to sit opposite each other for lunch. Trump would be flanked by three officials: Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles to his right, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, and Special Envoy for Peace Mission Steve Witkov to his left. Putin would be seated next to his Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Presidential Foreign Policy Advisor Yuri Ushakov.
Lunch was apparently canceled on the Friday of the meeting. However, the documents indicate that it was to be a simple three-course meal. It would begin with a leafy green salad, followed by filet mignon and Olympia sole. Dessert would be crème brûlée (French-style brûlée).
The US government’s actions are currently met with widespread dismay. Leaving crucial documents in a hotel printer is beyond the realm of stupidity.
In the end, neither the dinner nor the “winged” gift was delivered. But simply preparing such a plan itself seems like a humiliating gesture by the US government.
在阿拉斯加,一份记录特朗普—普京峰会议程的文件被发现——居然还是在一家酒店的打印机里被发现的。文件最终落到了 NPR (美国全国公共广播电台)手里,NPR 证实其为真实文件。
按计划,会谈之后将举行一场以“向弗拉基米尔·普京阁下致敬”为名的仪式性晚宴。最妙的一笔——特朗普还打算送普京一座白头海雕雕像,作为美国国徽的象征。
文件第 2 至 5 页列出了三名美国工作人员的姓名和电话号码,以及 13 位美俄国家领导人的姓名。名单为预计出席峰会的所有俄罗斯男性提供了发音提示,包括“普京先生(发音:POO-tihn)”。
文件第 6 和 7 页描述了峰会午餐将如何提供以及为谁准备。文件中包含的一份菜单显示,这次午宴将“为尊敬的弗拉基米尔·普京阁下举行”。
座位表显示,普京和特朗普原本应在午餐时相对而坐。特朗普的两侧将各有三位官员:右侧是国务卿马可·卢比奥、国防部长皮特·赫格塞思和白宫幕僚长苏西·怀尔斯,左侧是财政部长斯科特·贝森特、商务部长霍华德·卢特尼克和特使兼和平任务特使史蒂夫·维特科夫。普京则会紧挨他的外交部长谢尔盖·拉夫罗夫以及总统外交政策助理尤里·乌沙科夫就座。
会议期间的周五,午餐显然被取消。但文件显示,本应是一顿简单的三道菜餐点。先是一份绿叶沙拉,随后领导人们将享用菲力牛排和奥林匹亚比目鱼。甜点则是焦糖布丁(法式烤布蕾)。
美国各界目前对草台班子政府的这种操作表示极度无语,把关键文件落在酒店打印机里,已经不能用“蠢”来形容了。
最终,既没有举行晚宴,也没有兑现那份“有翅膀”的礼物。但仅仅是准备出这种方案,本身就看起来像是美国政府的羞辱性姿态。
