JUST IN: Trump admin. is planning to withdraw from the Open Skies arms control treaty, which allows more than 30 nations to conduct unarmed, short-notice flights over one another's territories, a senior admin. official tells NBCNews.

More than 1,500 flights have been conducted under the treaty, but Russia has restricted flights over certain areas.

Exiting the treaty is expected to strain relations with Moscow and upset European allies and some members of Congress.President Dwight Eisenhower first proposed that the United States and the former Soviet Union allow aerial reconnaissance flights over each other’s territory in 1955. At first, Moscow rejected the idea, but President George H.W. Bush revived it in 1989, and the treaty entered into force in January 2002.

He seems to be doing a lot due to Russia violating the agreements.... Which will allow more people to violate them too...... Instead of enforcing them more with sanctions.....

He wants to pull our country out of every treaty that we are in! He has NO clue what danger he's putting the country into, nor does he even care.

What’s the deal now start a confrontation with Russia to push his SPACE FORCE PROGRAM, he is trouble on the HORIZON

Who is the admin person? Name the source...

What's left for him to trash? Does have a special task force that gives him a list every morning?

A win for Putin!

He needs attention.....

DJtrump has never evolved beyond middle school mentality.

Maximum destruction in whatever time he has left seems to be the goal.

The admin. says it wants out of the treaty because Russia is violating the pact, and imagery can be obtained quickly at less cost from US or commercial satellites. 1,500+ flights have been conducted under the treaty, but Russia has restricted flights over certain areas.

All part of his distraction plan

Idiot. Dangerous. A FOOL
