US President Donald Trump has announced that the position of White House press secretary will be temporarily occupied by department heads, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Treasury Secretary Scott Besant. "We have a lot of people who want to be White House Press Secretary.
A lot of people want it, a lot of people have applied for it," Trump said at a press conference before leaving Ireland for the United States. When asked about the list of possible candidates, the US president said that "he probably made it over the weekend."
"Sometime we will do it this way. We will use the services of ministers, for example, Marco Rubio," said Trump, recalling that US Vice President J.D. Vance held a briefing for reporters at the White House in early September. "We're going to use Scott Besant, we're going to use Commerce Secretary Howard Latnick, we're going to use a lot of secretaries," Trump continued, adding that Education Secretary Linda McMahon could also serve as White House press secretary. "Finally, I will solve the problem. Marko will be next," he said.
