The dismissal of Donald Trump's national security adviser, John Bolton, came on Tuesday (September 10th) after a series of growing disagreements between the "hawk" and the US president.
Several hot issues, such as Iran, North Korea and Afghanistan, have set fire to the gunpowder between the two men.
While Donald Trump is quite accustomed to his colleagues acquiescing to his sudden political reversals, John Bolton was able to showcase decades of experience in Washington, and had little to lose when he left office.

The author of this week's press cartoon is Canadian. André-Philippe Côté made himself known by the comic strip, particularly with his philosopher hero Baptiste the Tramp, or with the character of Dr. Smog, a zany and endearing psychologist.
He has long been illustrator for the magazine Safarir humor and the daily newspaper of the City of Quebec Le Soleil, where he also officiates since 1997 as cartoonist editorialist. An annual collection of his best caricatures (De tous les Côté, Ed La Presse) has been published every year since then, and three major exhibitions have been devoted to him.
