Today’s article is about how President Trump uses the economic might of the Unites States to bully his way and coerce both friends and foes alike to get what he wants. This is totally different from using military might but it creates its own kind of cruelty and destabilization, and embodies its own brand of illegality.
Today’s article was written by Jeffrey D. Sachs, Professor of Sustainable Development and Professor of Health Policy and Management at Columbia University, and Director of Columbia’s Center for Sustainable Development and of the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network.
