President Donald Trump announced on his personal Twitter account Tuesday that he had fired Bolton for not agreeing with many of his suggestions, “just like others in the Administration.”
“So I asked John for his resignation, which was given to me this morning,” the president said.
“I thank John very much for his service. Next week I will appoint a new National Security advisor,” he added.
