Trump to speak to Putin about plague lab worker's death in Russia

Fears that the death may have been caused by pneumonic plague has prompted calls for more transparency from Russia.

What the coverage shows

Most outlets frame the story as a Trump-Putin call set against questions about the death at a Russian plague lab, with BBC, CNBC and CBS all emphasizing the planned conversation. Several outlets, including the Guardian, NPR, France 24 and The Hill, foreground the WHO asking Russia for more information, while Sky News stresses Russia’s denial of epidemic risk and its accusation that media reports are false. The Independent alone highlights Trump’s “bioweapon” comment, and The Atlantic is the most openly editorial, calling on Moscow to tell the truth.
