4 Democratic lawmakers said they believed the Trump admin may withdraw from a treaty that allows unarmed surveillance flights over U.S., Russian, and other territory, warning it would be a gift to Russia and undermine confidence in US commitment to Ukraine
WASHINGTON — Four senior Democratic lawmakers said on Tuesday they believed the Trump administration may withdraw from a treaty that allows unarmed surveillance flights over U.S., Russian and other territory, warning it would be a gift to Russia and undermine confidence in the U.S. commitment to Ukraine.
"The Open Skies Treaty is a critical element of U.S and European security, and a decision to withdraw would be another blow to regional stability as well as Ukrainian security," wrote Senators Robert Menendez and Jack Reed, respectively the top Democrats on the Senate foreign relations and armed services panels, and Congressmen Eliot Engel and Adam Smith, chairs of the House foreign affairs and armed services panels, respectively.
