Pool has been told to remain near the briefing room door to lower press.

Per the WH:

During the Most Favored Nations Oval Office Announcement, a representative with one of the companies fainted. The White House Medical Unit quickly jumped into action, and the gentleman is okay. The Press Conference will resume shortly.” – White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt

No new information from the WH on the identity of the person who fainted/collapsed.

Other attendees beside him broke his fall, and Dr Mehmet Oz moved in to examine him.
