Ten European signatories of the Open Skies Treaty, including France and Germany, expressed regret Friday over the Trump administration's decision to withdraw from the pact

PARIS — Ten European signatories of the Open Skies Treaty, including France and Germany, expressed regret Friday over the Trump administration'sto withdraw from the pact, which was set up to bring more transparency to military activities.

Open Skies went into effect in 2002 and has been signed by more than 30 countries, allowing signatories to conduct observation flights over each other's military facilities. It has been especially useful to European nations since it has allowed them to observe Russian military movements without the need for spy satellites or other high-tech means.

After a meeting of NATO members on Friday, alliance Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg placed the blame for the treaty's current difficulties squarely with Moscow.
