In a social media post shared over the weekend, President Donald Trump offered Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) chief Dana White the role of White House press secretary.
White declined the offer during a briefing held on Monday, confirming that he would not accept the position. He stated his reason is that he 'does not want to be in politics.'
The announcement came after Trump's initial post, which suggested White take over as press secretary. Later, Trump remarked he was 'having a little fun,' indicating the proposal was made lightly and humorously.
Dana White, known for his public presence and leadership at UFC, has no prior involvement with government roles or political affairs. The decision reflects his personal stance against entering political office.
