Pres. Trump has always thought of himself as a dealmaker. Now his administration is going to try to make good on that image.
President Donald Trump knew exactly who John Bolton was when he hired him as national security adviser in April 2018. He knew his hawkish views, including that he'd urged a preemptive strike on North Korea or advocated for regime change in Iran -- militaristic moves that Trump, who campaigned on"ending endless wars," has stood against.
For Bolton, he was also able to made inroads on certain policies, withdrawing the U.S. from arms control pacts, sanctioning the International Criminal Court, and putting pressure on what he called the"Troika of Tyranny" -- Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua. But Trump's policies have changed, even as those instincts remain. What was fire and fury against Kim has turned to falling"in love," and when asked whether he would relent on his"maximum pressure" against Iran in order to get a meeting with President Hassan Rouhani at the United Nations General Assembly later this month, Trump said Wednesday,"We'll see what happens.
There's one thing that the majority of them have in common, too: They're men who work in Pompeo's orbit, as his special envoys or ambassadors overseas, or in the case of Waddell, traveling with him often as the Pentagon's representative on State Department trips.
