John Bolton is the incoming National Security Advisor to the Trump Administration. He is also a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and is best known for his interim appointment of United States ambassador to the United Nations in 2005 and 2006, made necessary by intense liberal opposition to his confirmation by the U.S. Senate.
At the United Nations, John Bolton overturned the United Nations General Assembly Resolution 3379 adopted in 1975 that condemns Zionism to be "a form of racism and racial discrimination".
Bolton strongly opposes the Iran deal, signed and supported by the Obama Administration.[1] He opposes the European Union.[2] President Donald Trump appointed Bolton as his national security advisor in 2018.[3]
Background
John Bolton has been described as a movement conservative for his enduring commitment to broadly conservative principles:[4]
- Bolton is a lifelong conservative who ... played a key role in a major rules fight at the Republican National Convention in Miami, providing staff support to conservatives fighting to stave off "reforms" that would have shifted power to the likes of Nelson Rockefeller and the northeast. ... Bolton stepped forward and convinced his partners to donate the legal time and talent needed to ... [support] Buckley v. Valeo, [which] protected 1st Amendment rights and made it difficult for McCain and his friends to do even more damage to the electoral system last year. [Bolton] worked in the Reagan White House, was dispatched to help reform the Agency for International Development, served as head of the Justice Department's Civil Division under then Atty. Gen. Ed Meese ... [T]he New Republic suggested that when he speaks one hears echoes not of today's trendy "neo-conservatives" but of Jesse Helms and Barry Goldwater. Just so.
