Famous American economist and Professor Jeffrey de Sachs of Columbia University has fiercely criticized the decision of US President Donald Trump for imposing tariffs on India. He said that this decision is not strategic but destructive. He described it as the most silly strategic move of US foreign policy. He said that this tariff has not only caused a deep injury to Indo-US relations, but has also affected global alliances.

Sachs said that by putting 25% penalty tariffs, the US gave Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa a great opportunity to unite. Within 24 to 48 hours of the tariff being imposed, the contact between these countries intensified. This further strengthened the BRICS countries, damaging America’s strategic interests. He taunted that President Trump proved to be a great person to unite BRICS countries.

American leaders attacked
During the interview, Sachs also targeted American leaders. He called Senator Lindsay Graham as the most vulnerable senator and fool in America. He disqualified Trump’s former business advisor Peter Navarro. Sachs said that advisors like Navaro weakened the US foreign policy and hurt America’s credibility in the world.

America-India relations damage
Sachs warned that the effect of these tariffs will last long. India, which could have become strategic and diplomatic partner for America, will be a cause of great loss on it. Indians have now learned the lesson that you cannot trust America. Sachs said that even if the tariffs are removed tomorrow, the image of America has deteriorated in India’s mind.

No positive result of tariff
Jeffre de Sachs has described the tariff as completely failed. He said that there was no benefit from them in bringing any country to the conversation table. On the contrary, it weakened the aspect of the US foreign policy over the years.

America’s well-known economist Jeffrey Sachs has described the 50 percent tariff on India by US President Donald Trump as a stupid step. Jeffri said that this move of this US President has no purpose.

Talking to news agency ANI, Jeffrey Sachs described Trump as confusing and said that the US has used its dominant force for so long that they think that they can run their command on every part of the world. He said, “This tariff has no meaning. It is not true and it is failing. Putting additional tariffs on India was a stupid step in every way. Which has no purpose.”

He said, “Trump does not like the countries involved in the BRICS group at all, because all these countries stand in front of America and say that Washington does not run the world.”

India should never trust America- Jeffri

The American economist said, “Everything related to the tariff is completely wrong. It is also dangerous for the American economy. It violates international law. It is also harmful to our political system. Trump’s policies in America are fully cursed to fail.”

According to Jeffrey Sachs, India should never trust America and also should not believe that New Delhi can be included in the Global Value Chain by replacing China. He described China, Russia and Brazil as the real partner of India. He had already warned that India will not get any security benefits from standing with America.

This statement of the American economist came to light when US President Donald Trump has imposed a 50 percent tariff on India, the reason behind which was told to buy India’s Russia oil and gas.

American leaders do not care about India- Jeffri

Sachs said, “America politicians do not care about India. Understand this. India is not going to get any long-term security from standing against China in the quad with America. India is a superpower, which has its own independent identity in the world and the trump that is doing tariffs is absolutely unconstitutional.”
