Trump Appoints John Bolton As New NSA....

United States President, Donald Trump, has appointed a former United Nations ambassador John Bolton, as the new National Security Adviser.

He replaces HR McMaster as the NSA.

Mr. Trump tweeted to thank Gen. McMaster, saying he had done an “outstanding job and will always remain my friend.”

Mr. Bolton, who has backed attacking North Korea and Iran, told Fox News his job would be to ensure the President has “the full range of options.”

He becomes Mr. Trump’s third national security chief in 14 months.


Gen. McMaster is the latest high-profile departure from the White House.

Last week, Mr. Trump fired Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson by a tweet, replacing him with former CIA Director, Mike Pompeo shortly after he returned from Nigeria.
