Former President Donald Trump has reportedly asked UFC chief Dana White to become the White House press secretary, and White confirmed he will meet the former president on Monday to discuss the proposal.

Dana White is the chief executive officer of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), the world’s leading mixed‑martial‑arts promotion that organizes high‑profile combat‑sport events across the United States and internationally.

The press secretary position is a senior communications role that serves as the primary spokesperson for the White House, briefing the media on the administration’s policies and activities.

White told reporters that he will sit down with Trump on Monday to review the offer, indicating that a decision on whether he will accept the job has not yet been made.

No further details about the potential appointment or the terms of the discussion have been released, and the meeting will determine the next steps for both parties.
