WASHINGTON—US President Donald Trump on Monday shrugged off concerns the new coronavirus could spread inside the White House after two staff members were found to have been infected last week.

“I don’t think the safety system broke down,” Trump said at a press conference, noting he is not aware of any infection among White House staffers other than one of his personal valets and Vice President Mike Pence’s press secretary Katie Miller.
