Sachs is professor and director of the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University. He has been special adviser to three United Nations Secretary Generals and currently serves under Secretary General Antonio Gutierrez.
The quote posted on Trump’s social media came from a talk and debate given by Prof. Sachs on October 22, 2024, at the prestigious Cambridge Union in England. In spite of the extraordinary analysis of causes and pretexts of wars presented by Sachs, and some of his provocative statements, the speech remained unnoticed for 2 1/2 months until Donald Trump brought it to Truth Social and world media discovered it there.
Friends, colleagues and students of Jeffrey Sachs were just as surprised and also at a loss how to explain the sudden interest from the Trump Camp.
Here is a conversation between Glenn Diesen, a Norwegian political scientist and University professor; and Alexander Mercouris, a London-based writer on international affairs, and Jeffrey Sachs. They spoke today, on January 14, 2025, for almost an hour.
