U.S. President Donald Trump has announced his intention to discuss with Russian President Vladimir Putin the situation surrounding reports of a possible plague outbreak on Russian territory.
According to Trump, he plans to call Putin to obtain information on the scale of the situation and the measures being taken by Russian authorities. No specific date for the conversation has been given.
Russian official agencies have yet to release detailed data on the scale and location of the suspected outbreak, leaving open questions about the country's true epidemiological situation.
Statements of this kind from the American leader regularly attract considerable attention due to the particular nature of U.S.-Russia relations, in which high-level talks address not only security and economic issues but also, as in this case, humanitarian and epidemiological topics.
Details of the potential call, as well as the Kremlin's official position on the matter, are expected in the coming days.
