A meeting between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin is scheduled in Alaska. Accompanying Putin will be his security detail and several suitcases. However, these are not ordinary suitcases. They are bulletproof, designed to be used as shields in case of an attack. One of these suitcases, nicknamed the ‘poo suitcase,’ is designated to collect Putin’s urine and feces for transport back to Moscow.
The existence of the ‘poo briefcase’ was first revealed in 2017 by the French magazine Paris Match, during Putin’s state visit to France. Similar reports emerged in 2019 during a visit to Saudi Arabia. It’s believed that Putin has been employing this practice since the beginning of his tenure. The aim is to conceal information about his health and potential illnesses from his rivals. Concerns about Putin’s health have been circulating for years, and he reportedly wishes to keep his physical condition private. Analysis of his waste samples could reveal this information. Therefore, his bodyguards carry portable toilets.
