Trump says US is ‘willing to help’ with potential plague outbreak in Russia

President Donald Trump stated on Monday that the United States is willing to help Russia contain a potential pneumonic plague outbreak. This follows the death of Darya Shipilova, a researcher at the Irkutsk Anti-Plague Research Institute, and the medical observation of nearly 200 citizens in eastern Siberia. While Trump has not yet spoken with President Vladimir Putin, international concern has risen, although official confirmation regarding the cause of Shipilova's death remains pending across five hospitals.
