The report says that during a Monday meeting at the Oval Office, Trump and his advisers were discussing easing the sanctions against Iran in a bid to secure a meeting with President Rouhani at the UN General Assembly in New York later this month.
Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin voiced support for rolling back the sanctions, but Bolton argued “forcefully” against the move, Bloomberg reports.
Trump announced Bolton’s departure the following day.
