Amid the list of executive orders signed by Donald Trump hours after taking oath as the 47th President of the United Statesmega swerte, the US president revoked Secret Service protection for his former National Security Advisor John Bolton.

Bolton, 76, has served in several senior national security positions in the Bush Administration and joined the Trump administration in 2018.

However, after Trump pulled out of the nuclear deal with Iran, Bolton was fired from his position by Trump due to "various disagreements" in November 2019.

Trump has revoked Bolton's detail in 2019 after he left the administration. However, this protection was restored once Biden assumed office in 2020.

With Trump 2.0 underway, the US President has once again revoked John Bolton's security detail stating that "we're not going to have security on people for the rest of their lives."

"I thought he was a very dumb person but I used him well because every time people saw me come into a meeting with John Bolton standing behind me they thought that he'd attack them because he was a warmonger," Trump added.

Trump further accused his former NSA of "revealing sensitive information drawn from his time in government" in a critical memoir he published in 2020.

In Bolton's 2020 memoir, the government aide stated that Trump was "underinformed" in matters of foreign policy and focused only on shaping his media legacy. The former NSA added that Trump asked the leaders of Ukraine and China to help him win the 2020 elections.

Bolton reacted to the withdrawal of his security detail and stated that while he was disappointed, he was not surprised Trump did this.

Earlier in the match, a raucous crowd gave the Chinese players full support as they faced a formidable Pakistan. The game started slow with both teams struggling to find space in each other's defence. However, China kept control of the ball and made more attacks than Pakistan.

SAARI Faizal of Malaysia scored two goals for his side, while SAARI Fitri added another, and ANUAR Akhimullah opened the scoring in the first quarter.

"The Justice Department filed criminal charges against an Iranian Revolutionary Guard official in 2022 for attempting to hire a hit man to target me. That threat remains today, as also demonstrated by the recent arrest of someone trying to arrange for President Trump’s own assassination. The American people can judge for themselves which President made the right callmega swerte," Bolton told CNN.
