On Monday, the Trump administration announced the United States would be withdrawing from the Treaty on Open Skies, an agreement between 34 nations that allows unarmed military aircraft to fly over each other's territory for observation purposes.

These flyovers were important to monitoring Russia as they invaded and occupied the Crimean Peninsula.
