US President Donald Trump and his top officials may ease sanctions on Iran on Monday, in order to meet with Iran’s president, Hassan Rounhani.
According to an account by Bloomberg News, national security adviser, John Bolton argued against the meeting the day before his departure from the White House.
Trump said Mr Bolton was not getting along with people in the administration.
“He made some very big mistakes,” the President said.
Bolton’s removal is a sign of clearing the way for a more conciliatory foreign policy towards US adversaries in next year’s election.
