2026年11月7日 美国东部时间下午5:27 / CBS新闻
特朗普总统表示,他已向开放的白宫新闻秘书一职的人选、UFC首席执行官达纳·怀特发出了任职邀请。
总统在周六的Truth Social平台帖子中写道:“我很高兴地宣布,伟大的达纳·怀特——一位勇猛的斗士与战士——已获邀出任美国新闻秘书一职。”
“我已要求他带上自己的助手随行,尽管其中一些人并非来自我国,他们是伊斯兰·马哈切夫、哈比布·努马戈梅多夫、贾斯汀·盖奇、丹尼尔·科米尔、阿曼达·努涅斯以及凯拉·哈里斯。我们需要这些人来抵御‘疯狂的左翼’,”他补充道。
截至发稿时,怀特是否接受这一职位尚不清楚,但他在Instagram动态中分享了自己站在白宫新闻发布室讲台前的照片,配文为“开启新篇章”。
至少一家媒体的报道暗示,该帖子可能是调侃性质的。CBS新闻已向白宫和UFC方面发出请求,以获取更多置评。

总统发表此番言论之际,正值民主党在中期选举中大获全胜、掌控参众两院数天之后。
自10月16日起,白宫新闻秘书一职便已空缺,保守派评论员凯蒂·扎卡里亚在任职仅五天后便离职。扎卡里亚是特朗普在卡罗琳·利维特于8月退下、称希望花更多时间陪伴年幼家人后,选定的该职位继任者。
作为估值超150亿美元的全球联盟UFC的负责人,怀特长期以来一直是特朗普的支持者,并出席了他的就职典礼。今年7月,白宫还在南草坪举办了一场UFC赛事,以纪念美国建国250周年,该活动恰逢特朗普80岁生日。
“达纳将成为一名前所未有的新闻秘书。达纳,请接受这份工作!”特朗普在其帖子中说道。

Trump says he offered UFC CEO Dana White the White House press secretary role

President Trump says he has offered the open White House press secretary role to UFC CEO Dana White.
The president said Saturday in a Truth Social post, “I am pleased to announce that the Great Dana White, a violent Fighter and Warrior, has been offered the job of Press Secretary of the United States.”
“I have requested that he bring with him assistants, even though some are not from our Country, of Islam Makhachev, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Justin Gaethje, Daniel Cormier, Amanda Nunes, and Kayla Harris. We need these people to defend us against the Lunatic Left,” he said.
It was unclear at the time of publication whether White has accepted the position, though he shared an image of himself at the White House press briefing room podium to his Instagram story with the caption, “On to the next chapter.”
Reporting from at least one media outlet suggested that the post may have been made tongue-in-cheek. CBS News has reached out to the White House and UFC for additional comment.

The president’s remarks come days after Democrats swept the midterm elections, taking control of the House and the Senate.
The press secretary role has been vacant since Oct. 16, when conservative commentator Katie Zacharia was removed from the job after just five days. Zacharia was Mr. Trump’s pick to fill the role after Karoline Leavitt stepped asidein August, saying she wanted to spend more time with her young family.
As the chief of Ultimate Fighting Championship, running a global league valued at more than $15 billion, White has been a longtime supporter of Mr. Trump and attended his inauguration. The White House also hosted an Ultimate Fighting Championship in July on the South Lawn to mark the nation’s 250th anniversary. The event coincided with Mr. Trump’s 80th birthday.
“Dana will be a Press Secretary like none other. Dana, please take the job!” Mr. Trump said in his post.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
