President Trump and White House security advisor John Bolton often conflict with each other in resolving major foreign policy challenges facing the United States.

Even yesterday, Mr. Trump and Mr. Bolton still disagreed about the departure of the White House security advisor.

Just 90 minutes before Mr. Bolton attended a press conference with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, President Trump wrote on Twitter that he had asked Mr. Bolton to submit his resignation on the evening of September 9.

However, responding to a question from the New York Times, Mr. Bolton confirmed that he was the one who proposed to resign on the evening of September 9 `without` Mr. Trump’s request, then submitted the application the next morning.

The New York Times reviewed 5 `hot spots` that caused controversy between President Trump and National Security Advisor Bolton during Mr. Bolton’s 17 months in office.

Afghanistan

Most recently, National Security Advisor John Bolton has been a leader in opposing negotiating a peace plan with the Taliban rebel group, while this is an idea supported by President Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

Mr. Bolton said that the US could still withdraw some troops from Afghanistan and fulfill one of President Trump’s campaign commitments (about withdrawing troops), without signing an agreement with members.

President Trump ultimately canceled the meeting.

North Korea

President Trump still believes that one of his great foreign policy achievements is easing tensions between the US and North Korea.

However, Mr. Bolton still maintains a tough stance on North Korea’s weapons tests.

After Mr. Trump became the first sitting US president to set foot in North Korea during a meeting with leader Kim Jong-un in June, Mr. Bolton reacted angrily to an article in the New York Times, in

Mr. Bolton has long held the view that North Korea must give up its entire nuclear program before receiving concessions from the United States.

Iran

Since before becoming President Trump’s national security advisor, Mr. Bolton has supported military action against Iran.

In June, President Trump rejected a plan proposed by his advisers, led by Mr. Bolton, to respond to Iran with military action, after Tehran shot down a US reconnaissance plane.

Venezuela

After the US and its allies declared the government of current Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro illegal and supported opposition leader Juan Guaido, President Trump became increasingly frustrated with efforts to `overthrow` him.

The Trump administration realized that it had less influence in this region than expected.

Russia

Last month, Mr. Bolton reassured Ukraine that it would receive support from the United States in its confrontation with separatists believed to be pro-Russian.

Recently, the White House delayed a military assistance package for the Ukrainian government.

Security advisor Bolton also contradicted Russia over accusations that Moscow interfered in the 2016 US presidential election. President Trump repeatedly criticized and flatly denied this allegation.
