    TL;DR: The US is doing something internationally illegal and dodgy on the island and is scrambling to prevent anything that would highlight its shame. This is part of the hostile and, frankly bizarre, approach of Biden’s administration towards the UK with respects to Foreign Policy and cooperation notably refusing to help bring Harry Dunn’s killer to justice, to blocking Ben Wallace’s bid for NATO chair.

      Biden won in 2021. The policy was going under under Trump, and carried on under Biden. If you look at Assange and further, it was going on under Obama and Bush.

      It’s standard operating policy and no president has attempted to change or improve this.
