Not that I really want to be defending Trump here, but remember that the US does not recognize international law.
Because of the way Israel handled the situation, there was really no way Biden was going to be able to take one side or the other without pissing somebody off. Both were in the wrong. Hamas clearly should not have attacked unprovoked and taken hundreds of hostages, but Israel should not have gone full "Kill 'em all and let God sort them out" mode either. The hospital bombing didn't do anyone any favors either, as you could have video evidence proving who was responsible and people still wouldn't believe it.
Actually, no. George HW Bush stared the wall and every single president since him has expanded it ever since. Trump was just the first to make it a focal point of his campaign and policy.
So did every president before him.
Iran was pissed that Trump unilaterally broke it in the first place, and feel that attempting to re-negotiate would be pointless if the next administration can just unilaterally drop it on a whim. Plus, with Iran seemingly readying to go up against Israel, any attempt to reinstate it is probably dead on arrival at this point.
Why should Biden lift tariffs from a country that is becoming increasingly hostile to us and have far more draconian measures in place in their own country?
Again, international law does not apply in the US, and many countries had strict immigration policies in place regarding COVID.
Well if that isn't awfully condescending.......
