Video / NZ HeraldPrime Minister Jacinda Ardern will head to the United States on Monday night - but her recent bout of Covid-19 has put at risk her first White House visit and meeting with US President Joe Biden. Ardern was expected to visit the White House on her trip but strict White House protocols around Covid-19 have thrown things into doubt. No other country's leader had had Covid-19 so soon before going to the White House and that had resulted in uncertainty. It would be the first White House visit for a Prime Minister since John Key went to see then President Barack Obama in 2014.
