John Bolton remplace H.R. McMaster à la sécurité nationale

H.R. McMAster imaginait probablement un autre scénario pour son départ à la retraite, mais sa relation (encore la Russie) avec le président était difficile depuis le départ. Une fois de plus Donald Trump arrête son choix sur quelqu'un dont les vues sont plus proches des siennes. John Bolton n'est pas un nouveau venu sur la scène politique américaine et ses positions sont connues d'une majorité d'observateurs. Il est considéré comme un faucon, particulièrement dans les dossiers iranien et nord-coréen.

 "Though most of their disagreements took place in private, McMaster was the subject of a public rebuke from Trump in February when he stated during a conference in Munich that evidence of Russian meddling in the 2016 elections was “incontrovertible.”

“General McMaster forgot to say that the results of the 2016 election were not impacted or changed by the Russians and that the only Collusion was between Russia and Crooked H, the DNC and the Dems,” Trump tweeted in response. “Remember the Dirty Dossier, Uranium, Speeches, Emails and the Podesta Company!”

The jab was the first time Trump’s criticisms of McMaster spilled into public view, despite the president’s having seriously contemplated his ouster as early as November. Still, McMaster remained outspoken in his views, and as recently as last week said that the administration should be tougher on Russia over its actions in Syria."
