There has been another major shake-up at the White House. <br />National Security Advisor, H.R. McMaster has agreed to resign and will be replaced by the former U.S. ambassador to the UN, John Bolton.<br /> President Trump announced the change in a tweet, thanking McMaster for his service, saying the handover to Bolton would take place on April 9th.<br />This comes hot on the heels of Secretary of State Rex Tillerson's firing last week, and nominating CIA Director Mike Pompeo in his place.<br />Both replacements are considered hawkish hardliners, especially Bolton, who has consistently expressed skepticism over dialogue with North Korea, and advocated military action.<br />A White House official said the timing of the firing was not related to any one incident, but with the U.S.-North Korea summit slated for May, Trump appears to be putting together a far more hardline team before his meeting with Kim Jong-un. <br />
