Economist and geopolitical analyst Jeffrey Sachs has blamed Washington’s “imperial mentality” for fuelling global crises, saying the Ukraine conflict is a “U.S.-provoked” war with Russia driven by NATO expansion. Speaking with students, Sachs said U.S. President Donald Trump wants to end the war but lacks the political strength to stop it, warning that without concessions on NATO, any American leader risks being branded “a traitor.” His remarks come as speculation grows over a possible Trump–Vladimir Putin meeting in Alaska and amid mounting pressure on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. #tnworld #timesnowworld #worldnews #internationalnews #timesnews #newsworld #russiaukrainewar #jeffreysachs #trumpputinmeeting #alaskasummit #zelensky #natoexpansion #usforeignpolicy #putintrumptalks #ukraineconflict #fudanuniversity #imperialmentality #usrussiarelations #trumponukraine #putinonnato #zelenskyunderpressure ​Subscribe now: http://bit.ly/3VHIl37 Times Now World is your definitive source for comprehensive global news and analysis.
