President Trump conducted an unannounced press briefing at the White House on Monday, surprising reporters with the presence of Dana White, the president and CEO of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, according to The Hill.

During the briefing, Trump offered White the position of press secretary, a move that was initially teased as a joke on Truth Social over the weekend, as reported by The Hill.

White participated in the impromptu press conference alongside Trump, engaging with the press in the briefing room, The Hill noted.

In addition to the appearance by White, Trump responded combatively to questions about the Republican Party's unexpected defeat in the recent midterm elections, covering a broad range of topics during the session.
