WASHINGTON Dante Pettis Color Rush Jersey , Aug. 18 (Xinhua) -- The White House said Friday Chief Strategist Stephen Bannon will leave his job.
""White House Chief of Staff John Kelly and Steve Bannon have mutually agreed today would be Steve's last day,"" White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement.
""We are grateful for his service and wish him the best,"" she added.
Steve Bannon steps off Air Force One after a trip with President Trump in April.
Conflicting reports have emerged regarding the details of Bannon's departure, some reports said Bannon had submitted his resignation on Aug. 7, while other reports indicated Bannon had been fired by President Donald Trump.
Controversy surrounding Bannon's role in the White House have been mounting in recent months, and was heightened after a race-related clash in Charlottesville over the weekend resulted in three deaths.
When asked about whether Bannon's position in the White House was secure Tuesday, Trump said ""we'll see what happens.""
Trump was reportedly furious with Bannon after he contradicted the president's view on several issues including U.S.-China trade ties in an unusual interview Wednesday with The American Prospect.
""He apparently was sidelined by Trump in the past few months and he has many opponents both in and outside of the Trump administration, so he was probably just venting his frustration by making eye-catching news,"" Zhiqun Zhu, Professor of Political Science and International Relations at Bucknell University told Xinhua on Thursday. ""In fact, he is not sure whether he can keep his job at this point.""
""Bannon grossly misreads U.S.-China relations and Trump's policy towards Asia. I do not think his words about 'economic war with China' represents Trump's policy,"" said Zhu.
Bannon is the latest heavyweight to leave the Trump administration, after National Security advisor Michael Flynn, Chief of Staff Reince Priebus, Press Secretary Sean Spicer, two Communications Director Dubke and Scaramucci, and FBI Director James Comey have stepped down.
Analysts believe Bannon's departure is expected to create big ripples inside the Trump administration as this may indicate a separation between government policies and nationalistic ideas Bannon advocates.
Allies of Bannon in the administration are also expected to follow Bannon's exit, according to local reports.
Bannon, former head of right-wing media Breitbart, was recruited by Trump during the campaign, and played a major role in developing domestic and international policies for the Trump administration.

PARIS, April 18 (Xinhua) -- Second-seeded Novak Djokovic had to come back from 5-4 down in the decider to win the second-round matchup against host player Gilles Simon by 2-1 at ATP Monte-Carlo Masters on Tuesday.
While French top player Jo-Wilfried Tsonga was disappointed by fellow Frenchman Adrian Mannarino 2-1 in the first match since the birth of his son.
It was the first appearance for Djokovic on clay after his success in last year's French Open. The world No. 2 suffered many unforced errors, and had to take the must-win three games from 5-4 down in the third set to seal a 6-3, 3-6, 7-5 victory.
"After I was 6-3, 2-1 up, I felt like I had the control of the match, but since then I started to make some unforced errors," commented Djokovic.
"He was two, three points away from winning it. Finally, I got out of that tricky situation, which was probably the most positive thing I take from today," he added.
Tsonga took time off following the birth of his first child in March, and he may find it a bit difficult to get back the form in his return.
Tsonga wasted a 7-6 (3) win in the first set, as Mannarino took away the next two sets at 6-2 and 6-3.
Djokovic and Mannarino were joined in last 16 by No. 10 seed David Goffin and No. 16 Pablo Cuevas.
11th-seeded Lucas Pouille of France, last seeded player to feature in the first round, eliminated Ryan Harrison of United States at 6-2, 6-4.

Sibiu Salami officially entered the list of Protected Geographical Indication, 20 days after the publication of the registration announcement in the EU Official Journal.

The Association of Sibiu Salami Producers applied in November 2014 and obtained on Feb. 19, 2016 the registration as Protected Geographical Indication product, according to official Agerpres news agency.
The Sibiu Salami became thus the second Romanian product after Topoloveni Plum Jam received a Protected Geographical Status in 2011.
