Vice President Kamala Harris said in a meeting Saturday with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi that Washington will not allow for the forced relocation of Palestinians or any redrawing of the current border of the Gaza Strip.

“Under no circumstances will the United States permit the forced relocation of Palestinians from Gaza or the West Bank, the besiegement of Gaza, or the redrawing of the borders of Gaza,” Harris said, according to a statement from the vice president’s office.

      Except sometimes the threats are backed up if it’s convenient enough. The US doesn’t always intentionally lie, there’s just not much continuity of policies across administrations, so even if one president does genuinely agree to something- they can’t really make their successor follow it. Especially if the successor strongly disagrees with them on most things.
