Trump and John Bolton sparred over lifting Iran sanctions

As national security adviser, Bolton was a leading advocate of the Trump administration’s so-called “maximum pressure campaign,” designed to squeeze Iran’s economy until its leadership was forced to curtail its aggression in the region and concede to U.S. demands to dismantle its nuclear program.

Trump withdrew the U.S. from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal last year. Iran has since decided not to comply with the agreement. Trump recently has said he would meet with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, perhaps later this month on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly session in New York, without preconditions.This was not the first time Trump has brought up the idea of easing sanctions to bring Iran to the negotiating table, according to a U.S.

French President Emmanuel Macron has proposed providing Iran with $15 billion in non-U.S. funds to jump-start talks. Trump has suggested he might sign off on such a proposal, which would require the U.S. to advise financial institutions that they would not face penalties if they facilitate such transactions.But the person close to Bolton said the president went further during a 2 p.m. meeting on Monday in suggesting he would lift U.S. sanctions.

Let us return now to those golden days of yesteryear, when on-fire conservative Patriots™ completely lost their shit at the idea of relaxing sanctions with Iran to get a deal. Oh ye sad Republican hypocrites.

Big deal old news from hypocrisy msm

No sympathy for this guy what so ever, what an ugly history of hate. If Trump is the Anti-christ, this guy is the devil's advocate who did all in his power to create wars (e.g one of the major reasons for the Iraqi war).

Good riddance

He should fire Brian Hook too

Let the leaking games begin!

полагаю, Болтон из немногих тех, кто объективно видит, что не эффективны методы Д.Трампа в отношении Ирана

Fake news

He likes war so much, that he should be sent to the front line in Afghanistan.

Ok, NBC, name 'the person close to Bolton'. Fake News continues CNN WSJ FoxNews

That is reasonable and if true I applaud Trump. It is important to do what we can to have a relationship with Iran. Bolton has always been a hawk. His departure will be good for working toward a good relationship. Peace!

In response...Iran just bombed an oil refinery in Saudi Arabia.

Glad Mr. President Tump is going to finally get libs like Bolton out of government. 🇺🇸🇺🇸

John 'Capt. Kangaroo' Bolton; can go to blazes!

John Bolton has no business being in any advisory capacity for a President. He's nothing but a war mongering piece of garbage. This is one of the few decisions realDonaldTrump has made that isn't horrible.

At that point Bolton's porn stache screamed 'No we bomb them!'
