2020-05-21 | U.S. pulls out of Open Skies treaty, Trump's latest treaty withdrawal - Reuters
'The Open Skies treaty, proposed by U.S. President Dwight Eisenhower in 1955, was signed in 1992 and took effect in 2002. '
'WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States announced its intention on Thursday to withdraw from the 35-nation Open Skies treaty allowing unarmed surveillance flights over member countries, the Trump administration’s latest move to pull the country out of a major global treaty. '
'The administration also pulled the United States out of the Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces Treaty with Russia last year. '
'Trump’s decision to leave the treaty is “premature and irresponsible,” said Daryl Kimball, the head of the Arms Control Association. '
'NATO allies and other countries such as Ukraine have pressed Washington to remain in the treaty, and Trump’s decision could aggravate tensions within the alliance. '
