John Bolton benched by Trump National Security Advisor sidelined on Afghanistan
https://www.rawstory.com/2019/08/john-bolton-benched-by-trump-national-security-advisor-sidelined-on-afghanistan/
National Security Advisor John Bolton is facing questions about how long he will remain in the administration after being sidelined by President Donald Trump.
As the presidents top aides prepared for a high-stakes meeting on the future of Afghanistan earlier this month, one senior official was not on the original invite list: national security adviser John Bolton, The Washington Post reported Friday. The attendance of the top security aide would normally be critical, but the omission was no mistake, senior U.S. officials said. Bolton, who has long advocated an expansive military presence around the world, has become a staunch internal foe of an emerging peace deal aimed at ending Americas longest war, the officials said.
Bolton, a leading neoconservative, has sought to continue the war in Afghanistan, which has been being going on for almost 18 years.
His opposition to the diplomatic effort in Afghanistan has irritated President Trump, these officials said, and led aides to leave the National Security Council out of sensitive discussions about the agreement, the newspaper noted.
