President Donald Trump said Thursday that he will appoint John Bolton, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations , as his new national security adviser. I am pleased to announce that, effective 4/9/18, @AmbJohnBolton will be my new National Security Advisor. Bolton also served in the State Department under presidents George H. W. Bush and Ronald Reagan. The new national security adviser may push for aggressive stances toward Russia, the self-described Islamic State group and North Korea, experts familiar with his track record say. While acting as undersecretary of state for arms control for George W. Bush, Bolton was emphatic that there was proof Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction.
