Trump offers UFC's Dana White press secretary job

President Donald Trump said on Nov. 7 he had offered Dana White, president of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), the job of White House press secretary, according to multiple Korean outlets. Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social that he was "pleased to announce" the offer, calling White a "fierce fighter and warrior," Yonhap and Chosun Ilbo report. The position has been vacant for about three weeks, Donga Ilbo notes, and it is not yet confirmed whether White has accepted. Chosun Ilbo adds that White is one of Trump's closest associates, having raised significant campaign funds in the last election and hosted a UFC event at the White House in June. Korean media coverage focuses on the unusual nature of the pick, with Donga Ilbo noting the offer comes amid the vacancy, while Chosun Ilbo highlights White's role in Trump's inner circle.
