cut through the noise of the. this is the line from. a major green into the open skies. meant to foster. conflict between the u.s. and russia but president trump says moscow has not been honoring its end of the deal also on the program. to control its coronavirus.

actions. the government faces growing criticism over its handling of the crisis. in china. towards hong kong. to criminalize sedition secession under subversion in the territory. welcome to the program u.s. president. will withdraw from an important arms control treaty known as open skies it justified the move by saying that russia has not been complying with the deal which was signed 2 decades ago. to increase military transparency among 34

countries this will be the 3rd arms control president withdrawn from since taking office including the i.m.f. nuclear treaty with russia the good nuclear code with iran. on the w.'s that washington bureau chief is our exams of norman welcome alexandra. put this in context for us how important is this open skies treaty and why does the president want to leave it. well this treaty has been a very important for stabilizing relations between the you asked its european allies and russia because it grants mutual permission to send reconnaissance flights over the entire territory open it's 34. members of the 34 countries that signed this treaty and this way they have been allowed to spy on the child over to see what's going on the ground in terms of troop movements or

military buildup and this spying on the job or has been managed to build the trust that no one is planning a military. and military actions or even the war so this treaty has been very important but the trump administration has been complaining about russia's violation of this treaty for quite a while now and one of president trump's advisers said that now we reached a point at which you need to say enough is enough that was obviously just thinking behind this decision but let's have a listen to what president trump perhaps had to say about this decision what we have an agreement where we have agreed it and the other side doesn't adhere to it in many cases they're all through these older grievers then we pull out also so i think what's going to happen is we're going to pull out and they're going to go back you want to make you feel better very good relationship lately with russia you

can see that with respect to oil what's happening with the oil so alexander this sounds like a bargaining position won't why the president after. well as you know fairly he considers himself the best deal maker in the world and he doesn't have much respect for the deals made by his previous a source. maybe he's hoping to get a better deal with russia and it's not as secret as well that the us is trying to get china involved in such a nuclear arms in such treaties international treaties and their decision to withdraw from this treaty so it's 6 months clock so there will be time to negotiate wherever at the moment it's rather unlikely what kind of solution can be found to set aside the try trump administration there are 34 signatures to open skies so how would a us withdrawal of $33.00 men. while it

will be very difficult for them especially for the european countries to remain in the treaty which is and has been very important for europe even if they remain in the treaty russia is very likely to cut off its flights that the european allies use toumani toure the troop movements at their borders and that will be a law and of a blow to the system of europe wide security and especially it will be difficult and for a for about the baltic nations and for those european countries who does not who do not have significant settlers capabilities to mourn and who are they our neighbor russia thank you for example for normal in washington. let's stay in the u.s. now with a look at the country's efforts to get its economy back on track amid the coronavirus pandemic in just over 2 months the crisis wipes out nearly 4000000 jobs
