The president cites his differences with the man he picked to be his national security adviser.
President Trump said Wednesday that he fired John Bolton because his national security adviser “made some very big mistakes” in the negotiations with North Korea that “set us back.”
Foreign-policy experts believed Bolton’s statement was counterproductive to Trump’s goal of reaching an agreement with Kim. When Trump took his historic step across the border into North Korea, Bolton was not part of his entourage. He had been relegated to a meeting in Mongolia. “He was very out there, I can tell you, and wanting to have them do it, and I disagreed with that decision from the beginning,” Trump said, without explaining why he had picked Bolton as his national security adviser in the first place.
