Trump Spoke About The Pneumonic Plague In Russia

The U.S. is closely monitoring the situation.

The U.S. is closely monitoring the plague situation in Russia and is ready to provide assistance if necessary. This was stated by Donald Trump while answering questions from reporters.

“We are paying close attention to this issue. We just found out about it. And they’re calling it pneumonia. And pneumonia, as you know, was easier to treat a few years ago. Germs and pathogens have become disproportionately stronger. But we’ll help them. We’ll help them as much as we can,” Trump said.

As a reminder, on October 2, the Russian Telegram channels Baza and Mash, as well as media outlets, reported that a 28-year-old lab technician at the Siberian and Far Eastern Anti-Plague Institute had died of pneumonic plague.

Later, the governor of the Irkutsk Region Igor Kobzev stated that the employee of the Anti-Plague Institute had died not from pneumonic plague, but from “pneumonia of unknown etiology.” Rospotrebnadzor made the same statement on October 4.

Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov neither confirmed nor denied reports of a possible plague outbreak.

“The lead agency with jurisdiction in this area [is] Rospotrebnadzor. And it is precisely Rospotrebnadzor’s official statements that we should rely on, rather than listening to various rumors and speculations. Rospotrebnadzor employs highly qualified professionals in this field; let’s listen to their official statements,” TASS quoted Peskov as saying.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio noted on October 5 that Washington is relying solely on the information provided by the Russian side, but is closely monitoring the situation.

“Transportation links between the U.S. and Russia are, of course, very limited right now, but, as in any other case, if something like this comes to light, it can spread quickly,” Rubio noted.
