Death of a young woman: Suspected case of pneumonic plague: Trump wants to speak to Putin
Recently, phone calls between Trump and Putin focused on one topic: the Ukraine war. Now the US President wants to talk to the Kremlin chief about the death of a laboratory worker.
US President Donald Trump plans to speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin about a mysterious illness that led to the death of a laboratory worker in Russia. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said it was monitoring reports of a suspected case of pneumonic plague in the Russian region of Irkutsk, but noted that the case had not been confirmed.
According to Russian authorities, the 28-year-old woman who died at a hospital in Shelekhov, near Irkutsk in Siberia, died from pneumonia of unknown origin, not from the plague. The US State Department has called on Russia to quickly and transparently share information about the case.
