(CNN) - In two tweets, US President Donald Trump reported Tuesday that he asked John Bolton, United States National Security advisor, to resign.

“Last night I informed John Bolton that his services are no longer necessary in the White House. I did not agree with many of his suggestions, as well as others in the Administration, and therefore… ”Trump wrote in the first tweet.

Trump's tweets arrive only an hour after the White House reported that Bolton would hold an information session with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in the White House meeting room later this Tuesday.

Bolton's dismissal came after he was increasingly confronted with Pompeo and other administration officials and internally opposed several of the president's foreign policy movements.

Initially, Bolton was hired because of his tough position on Iran, supporting Trump's exit from the nuclear agreement with Iran, but soon began to clash with the president's vision for diplomacy in North Korea and more recently in Afghanistan.
