Trump says ‘we don’t think’ Russian plague is bio-weapon

On Wednesday, US President Donald Trump stated in the Oval Office that the death of a Russian plague laboratory worker did not appear to be linked to a biological weapon. Responding to reporters' inquiries regarding whether a bio-weapon was involved, Trump remarked, "We don't think so. We're going to find out soon enough, but we don't think so."

The comments address an ongoing international concern following the fatality at a Russian facility dealing with plague research. While initial questions have been raised about the nature of the incident and potential bioweapon development, the US administration's current assessment remains skeptical of such links, pending further investigation.
