Bolton departs White House

US National Security Advisor John Bolton

The US President says he has dismissed his national security advisor John Bolton.

Donald Trump says he and others in the government disagreed with many of Bolton’s suggestions. Trump has described Bolton as a disaster on Washington’s policy towards North Korea and out of line towards Venezuela. The US President has also refused to rule out easing Washington's unilateral sanctions on Iran, a policy that Bolton, a well known anti-Iran hawk is reported to have strongly opposed. Sources familiar with Bolton’s departure say tensions over talks with the Afghan Taliban militant group had also been a factor in his expulsion.
