U.S. President Trump announced today that he has invited Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) president White to serve as White House press secretary; this position has been vacant since the 16th of last month.

Agence France-Presse reported that Donald Trump posted on his social platform "Truth Social": "I am pleased to announce that we have extended an invitation to the great Dana White, a fierce fighter and fighter, to serve as the Press Secretary of the United States."

He wrote: "Dana (White), please take this job!"

White has not yet made it clear whether he will accept the job, but he posted a photo on Instagram, possibly generated by artificial intelligence (AI), of himself standing behind a podium in the White House press briefing room with the caption "Towards the next chapter."

The White House has been without a press secretary since TV commentator Katie Zacharia resigned less than a week after taking office on the 16th of last month.

White, 57, is the president and CEO of the UFC, the largest and most successful organization in the world of mixed martial arts.

Trump also listed six UFC fighters he hopes White can bring to the White House as advisers, "even though some of them are not from our country."

Among the players he mentioned, two are Russian and one is Brazilian. (Compiled by: Hong Peiying) 1151108

The elderly are exempted from paying health insurance premiums. Shi Chongliang: The burden on working people is increasing

The Legislative Yuan, under the leadership of the Kuomintang and the People's Party, passed the amendment to the "Elderly Welfare Law" on the third reading, clearly stipulating that elderly people over 65 years old are conditionally exempt from health insurance premiums. Executive President Zhuo Rongtai has confirmed not to countersign. Minister of Health and Welfare Shi Chongliang pointed out that if the elderly do not pay insurance premiums, the country will need to burn an additional 40 billion yuan every year, and the burden on the working class will increase. The Executive Yuan is willing to seek consensus with the Legislative Yuan.
