Get compile error "Could not find a declaration file" importing Ionic Pro with strict checking

I am importing ionic/pro in my app:

import { Pro } from '@ionic/pro';

It all builds and runs fine. But when I enable the strict compiler option in my tsconfig.json, with the "strict": true compiler option, I get an error:

[ts]
Could not find a declaration file for module '@ionic/pro'. '<path_to_my_app>/node_modules/@ionic/pro/dist/ionic-pro.module.min.js' implicitly has an 'any' type.
  Try `npm install @types/@ionic/pro` if it exists or add a new declaration (.d.ts) file containing `declare module '@ionic/pro';`

Is there a workaround or fix for this?
