Quote:Steve Bannon fired as Trump White House's top strategist.
'White House chief strategist Steve Bannon is the latest top aide of President Donald
Trump to leave his post.
Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders confirmed that Friday was his last day.
His exit follows a review of his position by White House Chief of Staff John Kelly.
Mr Bannon, a right-wing nationalist and former head of Breitbart.com, helped shape the
"America First" message of Mr Trump's election campaign.
But critics had accused the 63-year-old of harbouring anti-Semitic and white supremacist
views. Mr Bannon is known to have competed for influence in the West Wing against more
moderate factions, including members of the Trump family.Mr Trump raised eyebrows
earlier this year when he elevated Mr Bannon to the National Security Council, the main
group advising the president on national security and foreign affairs.
But Mr Bannon was subsequently removed from the council in a move that was seen as a
sign of National Security Adviser HR McMaster's growing influence over the president.
The two men have since been locked in a behind-the-scenes power struggle, according
to US media reports...'
