In the book “The Room Where It Happened: Memories of the White House,” which the newspaper has at its disposal, the former adviser also writes that “Trump apparently did not know that Great Britain is a country with nuclear weapons.”

In February, The Washington Post reported that Trump personally called for blocking the publication of Bolton's book.

In October 2019, it became known that John Bolton intends to write a book about his tenure as National Security Advisor.

As Axios clarified, given that Bolton was writing a book about his tenure in the US administration under the presidency of George W. Bush, plans for new memoirs are of concern to the White House.

Trump fired Bolton in September 2019. He explained this decision by the fact that he did not agree with many of the proposals of his national security adviser.
