U.S. to Withdraw from Open Skies Treaty: Is the World Less Safe?
In this edition of Wilson Center NOW we are joined by Wilson Center senior vice president and director of international security studies, Robert Litwak, and global fellows, Katarina Kertysova, and Michael Kofman.

How will the withdrawal affect already fraught relations between Europe, Russia, and the U.S.?
