In an exclusive interview with NDTV, Columbia University Professor Jeffrey Sachs calls the 2026 US midterm results a “landslide” and a “referendum on Trumpism”. Sachs says the outcome has weakened Donald Trump politically and could create an opportunity for peace in Iran and Ukraine. He also delivers a strong message to India, arguing that New Delhi should maintain an independent foreign policy rather than enter strategic alliances with the United States. Sachs discusses tariffs, India-US relations, BRICS and the future of global politics.
