Ex-Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev warns that countries are preparing for World War 3

Mikhail Gorbachev has warned that the world looks as if it is preparing for World War Three amid a new nuclear arms race. The former Soviet leader ruled the Communist Party towards the end of the Cold War when Russia and the US were at constant threat of escalating tensions and engaging in a global war. Now, the 85-year-old Nobel Peace Prize winner has called on presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin to do the same, as new tensions arise.
