Former President Donald Trump has clarified remarks he made concerning UFC President Dana White, stating that he was joking when he suggested White might be appointed as his White House press secretary.

The clarification addresses a comment that had gained traction. Specific details regarding when and where the initial joke was made, or the precise context surrounding the remark, were not immediately available. Similarly, the exact timing and location of Trump’s clarification were not provided.

The role of White House press secretary involves briefing the media on behalf of the President. It is a high-profile position that requires extensive communication skills and the ability to represent the administration’s policies and positions.
