Trump-Putin call on suspected plague in Siberia lacks set date
A date for a phone call between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin regarding suspected pneumonic plague after a scientist's death in Siberia remains open, according to Russian officials. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said no agreement has been reached on the call's timing. Trump had previously announced he had a scheduled time for the conversation and that it would occur very soon. The World Health Organization has asked Russia for more information about a possible additional death case related to the incident. The scientist's death has raised international concern over a potential outbreak, prompting high-level diplomatic engagement between Washington and Moscow. The exact nature of the suspected plague case and its broader implications remain under investigation.
