Trump to discuss suspected plague case in Russia with Putin

President Donald Trump said Tuesday he has a call scheduled with Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss the pneumonic plague, following the death of a staffer at a Russian anti-plague lab that has raised global public health concerns. Trump told reporters on the White House South Lawn the call would happen "very soon," and reiterated U.S. willingness to help Russia, calling the disease "a rough disease." A Russian health watchdog reported Darya Shipilova, 28, died from pneumonia of undetermined origin, with no plague found among her contacts. The CDC said it is monitoring the suspected pneumonic plague case in Irkutsk but sees no broader threat to the U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio urged Russia to share more information, cautioning against speculation given limited details.
