The White House has confirmed that the US President's key adviser and strategist Steve Bannon is leaving his job.

It comes after his position was reviewed by the new Chief of Staff John Kelly.

A statement says that Mr Kelly and Mr Bannon "have mutually agreed today would be Steve's last day."

Mr Bannon played a key role in the final months of Donald Trump's election campaign, but has proven one of the most controversial figures in the administration.

He is the former chair of Breitbart News, the far-right news site that Mr Bannon himself has linked with the 'alt-right'.
