Gorbachev says US making 'mistake' by quitting Russia nuclear treaty [View all]

Former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev has said he thinks the Donald Trump is making a “mistake” by leaving its nuclear treaty with Russia.

Mr Gorbachev was one of the original signatories to the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, signed originally in 1987 with then-US President Ronald Reagan.

“Under no circumstances should we tear up old disarmament agreements. ... Do they really not understand in Washington what this could lead to?,” Mr Gorbachev said to Interfax news agency.

Mr Trump had announced the move after a political rally in the US state of Nevada just a few weeks before the 2018 midterm elections.
