China Daily | Updated: 2020-05-23 00:00

WASHINGTON-US President Donald Trump announced on Thursday he would withdraw the United States from the Open Skies Treaty with Russia, in his latest move to pull the country out of a major global treaty.

The US leader said Moscow had not stuck to its commitments under the 18-year-old pact, which was designed to improve transparency and confidence between the military superpowers.

"I think we have a very good relationship with Russia. But Russia didn't adhere to the treaty. So until they adhere, we will pull out,"Trump told reporters at the White House.
