Senators demanded to stop the US withdrawal from the Open Skies Treaty


A group of US Democratic senators demanded that the United States stop withdrawing from the Open Skies Treaty in an address addressed to Secretary of State Michael Pompeo and Secretary of Defense Mark Esper.

The US leadership announced its withdrawal from the agreement on the pretext that Russia was allegedly not fulfilling its obligations.
