> Donald Trump said he would speak with Vladimir Putin soon about the death of a worker at a plague research centre in Siberia, though the Kremlin said no call had been scheduled. Russia has not confirmed suspected pneumonic plague and says there is no epidemic risk. The WHO called for transparency, and the US formally requested more information.
