Trump is the one that started the extradition. Biden is the one that ended it.
Stop pushing misinformation.
And by the way, every single US ally she visited except for Canada refused to extradite her because this is very obviously outside of US sovereignty.
The only reason the extradition wasn't refused (yet) in Canada is because, unlike in other countries, there is no mechanism for the executive branch to throw it out. So it has to go through the entire process as long as the US makes a request. In this case if you read between the lines above, you can see that the judges were very skeptical of the US claims, whether we would have accepted to extradite her to begin with is far from being up in the air.
The US exploited our unique legal system in Canada to force us to arrest her under false pretences.
Beyond that, US law simply doesn't apply outside of the US. Sovereignty is an exclusive war, the US deciding to impose it's law on foreign countries by force is only tolerated because the US is too powerful and it uses it scarely and officiously - a formal declaration by the US to that extent would not be tolerated by any country in the world - wars have been fought over much less.
