If the US abandons Hubble can another country claim the salvage rights
to it? Maybe this is why the US would rather deorbit it than place it in
a higher orbit for safe keeping.

No. There's really no concept of salvage rights in space since there's
really no way to abandon something (legally) in space.

Besides, no one else has a vehicle that can take aboard something the
size of the HST, and return it to the ground...
