struck by the mysterious ailmentIt first came to public attention in 2016 after dozens of diplomats at the U.S. Embassy in Havana, Cuba, complained of the sickness, but officials are yet to reach a firm conclusion of the syndrome's cause or whether an adversary is responsible.

He added Blinken had met with sufferers of the syndrome and had taken steps to investigate the incidents.
