President Biden, similar to former President Barack Obama 12 years ago, is hoping to close the military prison for terror suspects and enemy combatants at the United States Naval Station Guantanamo Bay in Cuba. But unlike Obama, he’s not making it a day-one priority.

In one of his first acts as president, Obama signed a 2009 executive order mandating that the detention facility, which he saw as a costly failure both in terms of wasted tax dollars and tarnished U.S. prestige abroad, be shuttered within a year.
