It's hard to remember all the strikes that Trump did but I doubt he did one this early.
Trump did exactly one strike, and that was in response to a gas attack in April 2017. Trump also ordered a drone strike to kill an Iranian general.

To be fair to Biden, Iranian forces (and proxy forces) have been attacking US troops and assets recently.

Trump did plenty of drone strikes though. The problem was, drone strikes hardly ever make it to the press. They usually keep it secret to cover up any collateral damage. And apparently, Trump did more drone strikes than Obama.
Ahh yes, I had forgotten that Trump had beaten ISIS early in his first term. I believe most (if not all) of these were in an already active war zone, so it wasn’t an escalation as the strikes in Syria and Iraq were.
