Welcome to our live coverage of world events.
Ultimate Fighting Championship boss Dana White has confirmed he’s scheduled to meet with US President Donald Trump on Monday, seemingly to discuss becoming the new White House press secretary.
Mr Trump surprised the US by posting on social media that he’d offered the position to Mr White, a longtime friend and political ally.
There has been no press secretary since Mr Trump’s last choice, Katie Zacharia, flamed out of the job after just five days and a single press briefing.
“I’m flying to Washington D.C. right now,” Mr White told reporters at a UFC-related press conference today, when asked about the President’s idea.
“Straight after this?” the reporter asked.
“Yeah. Right now,” said Mr White.
Elsewhere the US government suspects Jensen Juang, the billionaire CEO of tech giant Nvidia, has been involved in a romantic relationship with a woman who was recruited to be a Chinese spy.
And several MAGA media figures have blasted Mr Trump’s Vice President J.D. Vance for being “disloyal” in the wake of this week’s awful midterm election results.
