Trump to Discuss Russian Plague Lab Death with Putin; WHO Seeks Details

President Trump plans to call Russian President Putin soon about the death of a lab worker at a plague institute in Irkutsk, amid conflicting reports on the cause of death. The WHO is also seeking more information. Russian media report the 28-year-old woman died from plague after a test tube broke, but authorities say the cause is an "unknown pneumonia." Contacts have been quarantined, with no further infections reported. Trump offered US support, which the Kremlin acknowledged. The WHO assesses the risk as moderate to low for Irkutsk, low for Russia, and very low for Europe. WHO chief Tedros stressed that transparent information is essential to clarify contradictory reports. US officials advise attention, not panic, noting the disease is treatable with antibiotics.
