This is a Trump issue. Don't know why, but it's likely a pet peeve of one of the radio hosts who helped him win the White House.
He claims Russians violate some of the terms, by restricting flights over certain areas, when it's supposed to be open. We, however, also restrict them from flying over certain areas. He also claims it's not needed, because we have more accurate satellite technology. The latter may be true, but planes are more flexible.
I don't see this as a huge issue, but it's just another example acting randomly, with no sound analysis behind his actions.
