In an exclusive interview with NDTV, Columbia University Professor Jeffrey Sachs says India should stand on its own as a global power and avoid entering strategic alliances with the United States. Responding to questions about the strained India-US relationship under Donald Trump, Sachs argues that New Delhi should maintain good relations with Washington, China, Russia and other BRICS countries without aligning against any particular nation. He also questions the idea of a special relationship with Trump and urges BRICS nations to collectively oppose a resumption of the Iran war.
