White House Praises McMaster on His Last Day

by Associated Press

   WASHINGTON --

   The White House praised Lieutenant General H.R. McMaster as a "terrific
   person'' on his last day as national security adviser.

   Press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders paid tribute to McMaster, who is
   leaving after just over a year in office. He'll be replaced Monday by
   John Bolton, a former ambassador to the United Nations.

   Sanders said it had been "a real privilege'' to work with him.

   Trump told McMaster last month he wanted a change in his foreign policy
   team. They differed on policy and never developed a strong personal
   relationship.

   Trump was still fond of McMaster and had hoped to find him a suitable
   place in the military. But McMaster said he was retiring from the Army.
