Former U.N. ambassador John Bolton took over as President Trump’s National Security Adviser as of Monday, and this may be the first of many changes to Trump’s staff. Before he took the position, Bolton offered a list of staffers he wanted to bring in with him. However, most of the people on that list associated with his super PAC (Political Action Committee), and therefore are unauthorized to discuss any plans with the White House. John Bolton has told foreign embassies and foreign policy experts he plans to guide a decision making process in which the President can hear competing views.

This has been the third person to fill in the position within 14 months. Trump assured that Bolton will prove to be “a fantastic representative of our team.”
