Dana White, president of the UFC, has been offered the role of White House press secretary in the United States. US President Donald Trump announced the invitation on November 7 on the social media platform Truth Social.
Trump asked White to bring UFC members to serve as assistants, including Brazil's Amanda Nunes, a former MMA champion. The president also named Islam Makhachev, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Justin Gaethje, Daniel Cormier and Kayla Harris. White indicated that he accepts the invitation in a social media post featuring an AI-generated image of him at the podium used for White House press briefings.
The role had been held by Katie Zacharia, who left the post on October 16 after criticism of her handling of her only press briefing and questions about her performance and professional background.
