Hi

Here in the following is a paragraph in newspaper I happened to read recently, which I thought a bit unusual to me. Could you help me with that? Thanks!

...

Ma(The President of Taiwan) was scheduled to leave Los Angeles for Paraguay at 6am yesterday with a two-hour refueling stop in Panama where Panamanian President Martin Torrijos is expected hold talks with him at the airport.

Do you think there's an infinitive marker ' to ' coming right before ' hold ' missing ? Or ...? I am open to suggestions.

Yes, good catch. There should be a "to" in front of "hold".
