When Biden took office in 2021 , there were 40 prisoners at Guantánamo Bay , Cuba , now 15 .

Peter Bergen : Biden succeeded in reducing the detainee population he inherited by more than half .

He says Biden left Trump four people the U.S. will not release but also cannot put on trial the so-called “forever prisoners” Bergen says now all the problems are again President Donald Trump ’s.

Lisa Hajjar : No one can be released unless the U.S. government finds another country willing to accept them.

She says the "forever prisoners" include Abu Zubaydah , a Saudi -born man of Palestinian descent who was used as the guinea pig for the CIA torture program.

Hajjar says how Trump will deal with Guantánamo is an open question: If he focuses on the death penalty, he will press ahead with military commission trials.
