Dana White will meet with President Donald Trump on Monday to discuss the offer, according to Ultimate Fighting Championship CEO.

What the briefing reports

President Donald Trump has offered the job of White House press secretary to Ultimate Fighting Championship CEO Dana White. The offer was made on Saturday, and White is scheduled to meet with Trump on Monday to discuss the position.

This development comes after the previous White House press secretary, Katie Zacharia, left her position, and it remains to be seen how White will respond to the offer, as there are conflicting reports about his decision, with one source indicating he declined the offer, while another does not provide information on his response. The potential appointment of White as press secretary would be a significant development, given his background as the CEO of the UFC and his public backing of Trump's presidential campaign in 2016.

It is also worth noting that the White House has recently hosted a UFC event, which could suggest a closer relationship between the administration and the organization. However, without further confirmation from White or the White House, the outcome of this meeting and the future of the press secretary position remain uncertain.
