Trump to discuss Siberian plague lab death with Putin

President Donald Trump said he will speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin soon about the death of a lab worker at a plague research center in Siberia, with Trump reporting on the talks possibly Thursday. Russian officials are investigating the 28-year-old's death, saying contacts tested negative and have not confirmed pneumonic plague. The WHO head called for transparency, noting the disease's short incubation and potential fatality. Reports emerged of nearly 200 people under observation in Irkutsk region. The worker, Darya Shipilova, may have broken a test tube or taken a field trip, though officials cite undetermined pneumonia. The plague bacterium killed half of Europe in the 14th century.
