Watch as Renowned economist and global affairs expert Professor Jeffrey Sachs sits down with Hindustan Times to deliver a candid, clear-eyed analysis of today’s tangled geopolitics. From Trump’s looming summit with Putin to the origins of the Russia-Ukraine war, NATO expansion, and the real motive behind U.S. tariffs on India, Sachs brings historical clarity and modern insight.In this wide-ranging conversation, he explains why the West, not just Russia, bears responsibility for the war in Ukraine, dissects U.S. protectionism and Washington’s true stance toward India (“don’t trust U.S. politicians!”), and outlines why India should pursue a truly multipolar export strategy—including closer ties with China and joining Asia-Pacific trade groups.Sachs argues the current world order is overdue for change: India and China, together representing 40% of the world’s population, must transcend border disputes and help reshape global governance—including at the United Nations. Hear his unsparing views on why the U.S. resents rising powers, what BRICS must do next, and why global peace depends on ending Washington’s delusions of hegemony.Don’t miss Professor Sachs’ sharp, accessible, and often provocative take on the shifting political and economic landscape.Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/mBZLgU0l2DM
