Dana White hasn’t made a decision yet regarding thejob offer to become President Donald Trump’s new press secretary but he’s flying to Washington, D.C. for a meeting on Monday to discuss his potential role in the government.
Trump shocked just about everybody when he dropped the news on Truth Social that he had offered the UFC CEO the press secretary role after he’s had little luck trying to fill that spot since Karoline Leavitt resigned from the job in August. White revealed after the Zuffa Boxing
card in England that he was already planning to fly back to the United States for a planned meeting with Trump on Monday.
“I’m flying to Washington, D.C. right now. Right now,” White said during the press conference.
When pressed about his potential to accept the job, White deferred to his meeting with Trump and promised there would be plenty more to talk about after speaking to the president.
A report from CNN said White already declined the job offer, but it appears he’s still awaiting a meeting with Trump before making any decisions.
“I’ve got a lot of jobs already,” White said. “I’m going to meet with him, we have a meeting on Monday. I’m sure I’ll have more to talk about after that. I have a meeting on Monday, I’m flying to D.C. right now, and I’m sure we’ll have something to talk about after that.”’
White has said in the past as much as he’s supported Trump during his three presidential campaigns, he had no desire to actually get involved in any governmental job. Perhaps that changes now that Trump has come calling asking him to serve as press secretary.
