REUTERS\/Carlos Barria   <\/figcaption><p>WASHINGTON (Reuters) &#8211; The Biden administration has launched a formal review of the future of the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay with the goal of closing the controversial facility in Cuba, a White House official said on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Aides involved in internal discussions are considering an executive action to be signed by President Joe Biden in coming weeks or months, two people familiar with the matter told Reuters, signaling a new effort to remove what human rights advocates have called a stain on America\u2019s global image.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are undertaking an NSC process to assess the current state of play that the Biden administration has inherited from the previous administration, in line with our broader goal of closing Guantanamo,\u201d National Security Council spokeswoman Emily Horne told Reuters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe NSC will work closely with the Departments of Defense, State, and Justice to make progress toward closing the GTMO facility, and also in close consultation with Congress,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>Such an initiative, however, is unlikely to bring down the curtain anytime soon on the high-security facility located at the Guantanamo Naval Station. Set up to house foreign suspects following the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on New York and Washington, it came to symbolize the excesses of the U.S. \u201cwar on terror.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The immediate impact, however, could be to reinstate, in some form, the Guantanamo closure policy of Biden\u2019s old boss, former President Barack Obama, which was reversed by Donald Trump as soon as he took office in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>Trump kept the offshore prison open during his four years in the White House &#8211; though he never loaded it up with \u201cbad dudes,\u201d as he once vowed. Now, 40 prisoners remain, most held for nearly two decades without being charged or tried.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-usa-biden-guantanamo-exclusive\/exclusive-biden-aides-launch-review-with-eye-to-shutting-guantanamo-prison-white-house-idUSKBN2AC1Q4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FILE PHOTO: An exit door where released<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":112574,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23054],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Exclusive: Biden administration launches review aimed at closing Guantanamo prison - White House - Pre Coin News<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/precoinnews.com\/markets\/exclusive-biden-administration-launches-review-aimed-at-closing-guantanamo-prison-white-house\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Exclusive: Biden administration launches review aimed at closing Guantanamo prison - White House - Pre Coin News\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"FILE PHOTO: An exit door where released\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/precoinnews.com\/markets\/exclusive-biden-administration-launches-review-aimed-at-closing-guantanamo-prison-white-house\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Pre Coin News\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-02-12T15:59:43+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"mediabest\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:image\" content=\"https:\/\/precoinnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/cnewsfotor6-2.jpg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"mediabest\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/precoinnews.com\/markets\/exclusive-biden-administration-launches-review-aimed-at-closing-guantanamo-prison-white-house\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/precoinnews.com\/markets\/exclusive-biden-administration-launches-review-aimed-at-closing-guantanamo-prison-white-house\/\",\"name\":\"Exclusive: Biden administration launches review aimed at closing Guantanamo prison - White House - Pre Coin News\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/precoinnews.com\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2021-02-12T15:59:43+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2021-02-12T15:59:43+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/precoinnews.com\/#\/schema\/person\/ad0e9920e03d3b41c7ad02a18375d76a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/precoinnews.com\/markets\/exclusive-biden-administration-launches-review-aimed-at-closing-guantanamo-prison-white-house\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/precoinnews.com\/markets\/exclusive-biden-administration-launches-review-aimed-at-closing-guantanamo-prison-white-house\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/precoinnews.com\/markets\/exclusive-biden-administration-launches-review-aimed-at-closing-guantanamo-prison-white-house\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/precoinnews.com\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Markets\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/precoinnews.com\/category\/markets\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":3,\"name\":\"Exclusive: Biden administration launches review aimed at closing Guantanamo prison &#8211;
