Expect more transfers of Guantanamo Bay prisoners to be announced before President Barack Obama leaves office on Jan. 20, the White House said on Tuesday after President-elect Donald Trump tweeted a warning against it.
"I would expect at this point additional transfers to be announced before Jan. 20," White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters when asked about a message on Twitter by Trump earlier on Tuesday saying "There should be no more releases" from the prison at the U.S. naval base in Cuba, reported Reuters.
Trump will “have an opportunity to implement the policy that he believes is most effective when he takes office on Jan. 20,” said Earnest.
