John Bolton
President Donald Trump’s recent appointment of John Bolton as his next National Security Adviser caused a collective outcry among many in the nuclear nonproliferation community. Antagonistic to the Iran nuclear deal and seemingly supportive of military action against North Korea, it was Bolton, as undersecretary of state for arms control during the George W. Bush administration, who was front and center of that administration’s decision to end the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty.
