WEST PALM BEACH: US President Donald Trump said Sunday that he was only joking when he offered the role of White House press secretary to Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) chief Dana White earlier in the weekend.
“I was only kidding, but Dana loves the idea,” Trump told reporters on the tarmac of his namesake airport in Florida.
The press secretary role – traditionally the most visible administration role after the president – has been vacant since Katie Zacharia stepped down on October 16 after less than a week on the job.–AFP
