The “short-sighted” decision of the US Presidential Administration Donald Trump to withdraw from the Open Skies Treaty (OST) will lead to escalation of tension between the West and Russia. This opinion was expressed by Joseph Biden.
“Our allies made it clear that they want the United States to remain a party to this treaty and work together to resolve compliance issues with Russia. Without us, the contract could fall apart. Exiting it will increase tension between the West and Russia, as well as increase the risk of miscalculation and conflict, ” Biden said
