Trump doesn't think Russia plague incident is bioweapon, plans Putin call Wednesday
Reported by CNBC
Russia said Wednesday it was ready to arrange a call between President Vladimir Putin and President Donald Trump about the unexplained death of an employee at a plague research center, but no call had been scheduled at that point.
The U.S. Embassy in Moscow had contacted Russian officials about the reported death and requested more information, a State Department spokesperson told CBS News.
The World Health Organization asked Russia’s health watchdog for further details. The agency said it had supplied additional information and reported that nearly 5,000 tests found no dangerous pathogens.
