One day after his security adviser is thrown out, Donald Trump follows John Bolton. In front of journalists, the US president listed what mistakes Bolton had committed.
Bolton did not get along well with "important members" of his White House administration, Trump said.
During the Venezuela crisis Bolton had behaved inappropriately, also had the security adviser North Korea's rulers Kim Jong Un snubbed by threatening this with the "Libya model" if he did not give up his nuclear weapons program - the North African country had its nuclear weapons in 2004 The US handed over seven years later, the US participated in a NATO mission in Libya, which led to the overthrow of the government of Muammar al-Gaddafi.
Next week Trump wants to name the successor Boltons. Until then, his former deputy Charlie Kupperman will assume the position of managing. The post could be matched by five "very skilled" people, Trump said.
The US president had dismissed Bolton on Tuesday completely surprisingly. He justified first with substantive disagreements. Bolton is said to have been against a Trump planned for last Sunday secret meeting with Taliban representatives in Camp David, the country residence of the US president.
