Brazil hosts BRICS summit, eager to avoid provoking Trump’s ire

  • Brazil hosts the 17th BRICS summit in Rio as U.S. President Donald Trump threatens 100% tariffs on member countries, prompting Lula to pursue a cautious, priority-focused agenda.
  • Building on its expansion, BRICS aims to prevent U.S. tariffs by focusing on six priorities and promoting non-controversial language amid internal rifts.
  • Xi Jinping is absent for the first time since 2012; Putin participates via videoconference due to an ICC arrest warrant; Iran’s Pezeshkian and Egypt’s el-Sissi are also absent.
  • Following the summit, BRICS diplomats agreed on three joint statements and a final declaration, backing Brazil and India for UN Security Council seats.
  • Beyond the summit, BRICS, representing half the world’s population and 40% of global GDP, seeks financial alternatives amid global turmoil from Iran, Ukraine, and Gaza conflicts.
