The BRICS countries will meet on Sunday under threat of Trump tariffs
BRICS member countries will hold their annual summit on Sunday and Monday in Rio de Janeiro under pressure from US President Donald Trump.
The most difficult subject of the forum will be the use of local currencies as a measure to promote trade.
Indeed, that debate will take place a few days after Trump's 100-percent tariff cut ends, in which, if the dollar's dominance is called into question, it would set it in motion.
Middle East
Another major issue at the summit will be conflicts in the Middle East, especially given Iran's accession to the BRICS by 2024.
Iran will seek explicit condemnation of Israel andthe United States, however unlikely.
Imbalances
Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinpingwill not attend the BRICS meeting.
The absence of these countries will cause "power asymmetry"within the group , as both countries have the most weight in the BRICS.
