Dana White will discuss President Donald Trump's offer to become press secretary during an in-person meeting on Monday.
After Trump posted Saturday on Truth Social that he wanted the UFC CEO to take the position, conflicting reports circulated about whether White would consider Trump's push to "please take the job" that has been open since Katie Zacharaia left after only five days in the role.
TMZ reported that White and Trump would meet in Washington DC on Monday, while CNN cited a source who claimed White had already declined.
White made his first on-record comment about the situation following Saturday's Zuffa Boxing 12 event in London, and confirmed he will indeed meet with Trump next week, and is traveling directly from overseas to Washington.
