  • There was a time in Washington where

  • it appeared there was no man more

  • influential on Donald Trump's foreign policy

  • than John Bolton.

  • Remember, it was John Bolton who pushed for Trump to pull out

  • of the Iran nuclear deal.

  • It was John Bolton who pushed Trump to go to Venezuela

  • and advocate a coup against President Maduro.

  • But if you think about it over the last two or three

  • months on almost every single major foreign policy

  • issue facing the Trump administration

  • the president has overruled Bolton.

  • He has sided with Mike Pompeo, secretary of state,

  • who's become much more influential

  • on foreign policy in the last six months.

  • On Iran, the president has said he

  • would meet with President Rouhani

  • to discuss a peace deal again, something that Bolton

  • has strenuously opposed.

  • On North Korea, the president keeps saying nice things

  • about Kim Jong Un even though Kim Jong

  • Un keeps firing missile tests.

  • Again, something that Bolton himself has objected to.

  • On Afghanistan, most recently, he

  • had suggested having a meeting at Camp David with the Taliban,

  • the government that was responsible for housing

  • Al-Qaeda during 9/11, again, against the advice of John

  • Bolton.

  • On Venezuela, Trump has done almost nothing

  • since Bolton advocated for a coup in Caracas.

  • All these things, all four the major issues

  • facing President Trump, he has overruled Bolton,

  • sided with Pompeo, and the two men have fallen out

  • on almost every issue.

  • That is what preceded this departure.

  • It is now going to be his fourth national security

  • adviser in as many years.

  • And it shows that although President Trump has positioned

  • himself rhetorically as very hard line on any number

  • of issues he is at heart a deal-maker,

  • and is ready to make deals with any of these leaders, something

  • that John Bolton was not supportive of in any

  • of these countries.

  • I'm Peter Spiegel, US managing editor of the Financial Times.
