LIVE | Jeffrey Sachs: The U.S. Is the World’s Biggest Bully — And the Least Multilateral Nation

enowned economist Jeffrey Sachs on Thursday accused the Trump administration of violating international law and undermining the United Nations by pursuing unilateral policies that he said amount to global economic bullying. Speaking at a Security Council Arria-formula meeting, Sachs said U.S. tariffs and sanctions imposed without multilateral backing have harmed developing nations, raised mortality rates, and destabilized global institutions. “The United States ranked 193rd out of 193 countries in support for multilateralism,” he said, warning that current policies were “illegal, destructive, and pushing the world closer to nuclear conflict.” Sachs called for a recommitment to the U.N. Charter and an end to what he described as the weaponization of the dollar and trade policy.
