Summary
Judge Andrew Napolitano interviews Professor Jeffrey Sachs on the illegality and failure of the U.S. war in Iran, arguing that Trump’s refusal to admit defeat drives renewed aggression. Sachs critiques the administration’s economic illiteracy in trade policy and its abandonment of international norms, which he links to the ongoing Ukraine conflict.
