WASHINGTON, United States (AFP) — President Donald Trump’s national security advisor, Robert O’Brien, has tested positive for COVID-19, the White House said Monday.

O’Brien, who holds a key role in the administration, “has been self-isolating and working from a secure location off site,” the White House said in a statement.
