This was announced tonight by diplomatic sources.
"The meeting is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon," where we will analyze the consequences of the decision announced by US President Donald Trump, saying that Russia did not respect that agreement and that the United States will not respect it due to its withdrawal.
The US withdrawal should take effect in six months.
The agreement has been enabling reconnaissance flights of unarmed aircraft over the territory of 34 signatory countries for two decades, which was originally supposed to strengthen trust and enable the prevention of the conflict between the United States and Russia.
The American decision was criticized in the Alliance, and "all allies asked the United States to stay in the agreement," diplomatic sources stated.
The United States has already withdrawn from the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty which required the United States and the Soviet Union to eliminate and permanently forswear all of their nuclear and conventional ground-launched ballistic and cruise missiles with ranges of 500 to 5.500 kilometers.
This is not only about military. (Do I care about TU bombers fly around Greenland? Do I care about US airplanes flying around Russia?).
A significant part of OpenSkies is about civil flights. As the successor of East Germany, Lufthansa is involved. So is LOT (Polish Airlines), CSA (Czech Airlines), Aeroflot.
In the reciprocity, United and American.
Not enough everyone got their COVID-treatment, Trump made an extra "gift".
If things continue as they are, the winners are Rose Butterfly Wings of China.
Because a Budapest-Beijing or Moscow-Beijing round-trip is $400 and Beijing-San Francisco round-trip is an other $400. Not the flights you want to take, but you are welcome.
With the "Open Skies" going to end, Munich - San Francisco round-trip is going to be $2000, Moscow - LA round-trip is same thing.
Who's the winner? Comrade Xi and Trump's insanity.
Alternative: Manchester - Austin - Manchester for $600 or Frankfurt - NY - Frankfurt for $500, with Singapore Air. But than, I have to use my Amtrak miles (which is not everyone's fun) to reach the destination.
All this to re-new my driver's license, visit my employer or buy a new car. Feek you, Trump. Not enough this COVID, you made our life miserable. You the worst president of the country, go to hell.
