Biden will try to close Guantanamo after ‘robust’ review

President Joe Biden will seek to close the prison on the U.S. base at Guantanamo Bay following a review process, resuming a project begun under the Obama administration, the White House said Friday.

Psaki gave no timeline, telling reporters that the formal review would be "robust" and would require the participation of officials from the Department of Defense, the Justice Department and other agencies who have not yet been appointed under the new administration. "There are many players from different agencies who need to be part of this policy discussion about the steps forward," she said.
