The 17th BRICS Summit closed in Rio de Janeiro with a bang as leaders from Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa agreed on major global priorities. From climate action 🌱 to peace-building initiatives, the bloc showcased its growing influence in reshaping international cooperation.
While the summit highlighted collaborative solutions, U.S. President Donald Trump made headlines by announcing a 10% tariff hike targeting countries aligning with BRICS—a move analysts call a bid to counter the group’s rising clout. 💸 The decision has sparked debates about shifting power dynamics in global trade.
With BRICS representing over 40% of the world’s population, their unified stance on issues like sustainable development and multilateral governance signals a potential turning point. Could this be the start of a new world order? 🤔
