Trump to speak with Putin amid Russia plague scare
U.S. President Donald Trump announced he has a call scheduled "very soon" with Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss a suspected case of pneumonic plague in Siberia. U.S. officials have expressed frustration over a lack of details from Moscow, while the World Health Organization (WHO) has sought information. Russia, however, has stated that no plague cases have been detected in Siberia and that locals are downplaying the scare. The planned call comes as one report mentioned a possible death of a scientist in Siberia related to the plague.
