Have you heard about the new international money trying to gain momentum called BRICS? BRICS was created on June 16, 2009. Brazil has called for an extraordinary BRICS summit in response to Washington's latest trade restrictions. According to Valor Econômico, the proposal is being coordinated by Celso Amorim, senior foreign policy adviser to President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. The reason why the Brazilian President has called for an emergency meeting at the end of August 2025 is because of 50% tariffs being implemented on Brazil by the current United States President, Donald Trump. BRICS is expanding, and many countries are joining. It used to be made up of 5 countries. Now, as of Monday, September 1, 2025, it is made up of 10 countries, which are: Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran, and the United Arab Emirates.
