BRICS Summit 2025: India takes center stage at the BRICS 2025 Summit in Rio de Janeiro as Prime Minister Narendra Modi leads a powerful charge from the Global South against Trump’s aggressive tariff policy.
With 10 nations participating—including new member Indonesia—this year’s summit focuses on fair global governance, climate action, and reforming outdated world institutions like the UN, WTO, and World Bank.
As the world’s fastest-growing major economy, India is pushing for a more equitable trade system and calling for collective resistance against economic coercion.
Modi’s leadership is not only uniting BRICS but also redefining it—asserting India as the democratic anchor of a bloc once overshadowed by China.
India’s role in the New Development Bank and its calls for tech cooperation, sustainable development, and regional peace underscore its rising influence in shaping a new world order.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, alongside India’s S. Jaishankar, accused the U.S. of weaponizing the dollar and using sanctions as “economic colonialism.” Lavrov warned that even allies are unsafe from Washington’s unpredictability, framing BRICS as a counterbalance to Western dominance. India backed the bloc, stressing it is “not anti-West, just not Western.” With BRICS expanding to include nations like Iran, UAE, and Egypt, the bloc now represents over 40% of the global population, aiming to reshape financial systems, technology, and influence in the Global South.

Trump’s aggressive tariff policies are driving key global players toward China and Russia, strengthening BRICS as a united front against U.S. dominance. Leaders from India, Brazil, Russia, and China are deepening economic and strategic ties, defying U.S. pressure and embracing multipolar cooperation. With BRICS expanding and over 30 countries seeking membership, Washington’s trade war may be fueling the very bloc it seeks to counter.

As Trump imposes sweeping tariffs on India and China, leaders Modi, Xi, and Putin are coordinating a strategic response. Modi and Putin held a phone call to review bilateral ties, with Trump accusing India of funding Russia’s war via oil trade. Xi also spoke with Putin, urging diplomacy with the U.S. but slamming Trump’s “bully” tactics. The growing BRICS unity signals a serious counterweight to Washington’s tariff war, as all three powers challenge what they call unfair and illegal U.S. trade pressure.

Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has drawn a firm line in the sand after the United States imposed hefty 50% tariffs on Brazilian exports. In a striking interview with Reuters, Lula declared he won’t initiate talks with President Trump that might “humiliate” his nation—saying he’ll only engage if he senses genuine willingness to negotiate. Brazil isn't retaliating with reciprocal tariffs but is pursuing WTO consultations and prepping domestic support for affected industries. Lula also unveils plans to mobilize BRICS partners like India and China for a coordinated response.
Firmly asserting Brazil’s economic sovereignty, he criticized Trump’s interference in a sovereign country’s legal affairs, particularly related to the prosecution of former president Jair Bolsonaro. Emphasizing mutual respect in diplomacy, Lula called for dignified engagement-pointing to Trump’s public humiliations of other world leaders as unacceptable conduct. He’s offering negotiation-but on his terms only.

U.S. President Donald Trump was left scrambling when asked if the United States still imports uranium and fertilisers from Russia—despite threatening India over its purchases of Russian crude oil. “I don’t know anything about it,” Trump said, dodging the question during a press briefing. His remarks came as India lashed out at what it calls Western hypocrisy, citing billions of dollars worth of U.S. imports from Russia, including enriched uranium, palladium, and fertilisers.
Trump has warned of “substantial” tariff hikes on Indian imports, criticizing New Delhi’s Russian energy ties. Former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley also criticised Trump for giving China “a pass” while risking ties with a major ally like India. The contradiction is fuelling diplomatic tensions and raising questions over U.S. trade ethics in the Ukraine war era. India’s response underscores growing frustration in the Global South over selective enforcement of geopolitical pressure.

A massive Russian onslaught of missiles, bombs, and drones has left over 600 Ukrainian troops dead, according to the Russian Ministry of Defense. The devastating coordinated strike also destroyed dozens of armored vehicles, leaving behind scenes of fire and wreckage captured on drone cameras. The attack marks one of the deadliest single operations in recent months, sending shockwaves through Kyiv’s battlefield morale. Drone footage shows scorched earth and flattened positions, underscoring Moscow’s intensifying campaign. Meanwhile, a dramatic political twist is unfolding—Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has signaled readiness to engage in direct peace talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Sources suggest Ukraine may even consider concessions on territories under Russian control, sparking debate over whether Kyiv is preparing for a painful compromise. With battlefield devastation and diplomatic maneuvers happening simultaneously, the war seems to be entering a dangerous new phase.

Saudi Arabia has signed over $6 billion in investment deals with Syria, signaling strong support for President Al-Sharaa amid ongoing unrest. The agreements cover energy, infrastructure, real estate, and agriculture, aiming to revive Syria’s war-torn economy and create up to 200,000 jobs. Analysts see this as a major geopolitical shift—and a blow to Israel’s regional influence—as Tel Aviv has actively targeted Syrian positions during its civil war. The move comes after Saudi and Qatari efforts cleared Syria’s World Bank debt, unlocking fresh international lending.
