Trump ally Graham and ex-aide Bolton voice concerns over Taliban deal

John Bolton, Trump’s third national security adviser who was fired in September last year, was more damning.
“Signing this agreement with Taliban is an unacceptable risk to America’s civilian population,” he said in a tweet. “This is an Obama-style deal. Legitimising Taliban sends the wrong signal to [Islamic State] and al-Qaida terrorists, and to America’s enemies generally.”
The mention of Obama would have been particularly stinging to Trump, who has repeatedly sought to reverse his predecessor’s actions.
