This BRICS summit is at the Leaders’ level," said MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal in a press briefing.
Brazil’s Lula da Silva is convening a virtual meeting of BRICS leaders to discuss Donald Trump’s trade policy, four people familiar with the plan told Bloomberg. The Brazilian president wants to discuss not only the trade tariffs imposed by the US government, but also to rally fellow heads of major emerging market nations in support of multilateralism, according to two Brazilian government officials.
India and Brazil face the highest tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump. The Trump administration imposed an additional 25% tariff on Indian imports for purchasing Russian oil, which it claims fuels the war in Ukraine. India has denounced the tariffs as “unfair and unreasonable."
