“John Bolton has never met an opportunity for US military intervention or war that he didn't like," Delaney, a 2020 presidential candidate, said in a statement. "Trump should fire him.”

Delaney's statement linked to a report from The Washington Post detailing conflicts between Trump and Bolton over the situation in Venezuela.

Trump is reportedly concerned with Bolton's interventionist stance, saying that his adviser wants to get him “into a war.”

The Trump administration has thrown its support behind National Assembly leader Juan Guaidó, who is seeking to remove president Nicolás Maduro from office to call new elections.

Bolton has frequently said all options are on the table in Venezuela, including military action.

Last week, Guaidó called for a military uprising against Maduro, but the movement failed when the opposition failed to secure support of key leaders.
