MOSCOW: Former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, a co-signatory of the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty with then US President Ronald Reagan, said on Sunday US President Donald Trump’s plan to quit the treaty is a mistake, Interfax news agency reported.
“Under no circumstances should we tear up old disarmament agreements. Do they really not understand in Washington what this could lead to?” the news agency quoted Gorbachev as saying.
“Quitting the INF is a mistake.”
