Blinken says US stumped over Havana syndrome as more diplomats fall ill

Secretary of state says officials do not know what illness is or who is responsible, with more sickness reported in Paris and Geneva

The United States still does not know what the illness known as Havana syndrome is or who is responsible for it, the US secretary of state, Antony Blinken, said on Thursday after more American diplomats were reported ill in Paris and Geneva.

Blinken said the entire federal government was working to get to the bottom of the illness, which has afflicted about 200 US diplomats, officials and family members overseas.
