S Jaishankar To Join BRICS Online Summit As Member Nations Unite Against Trump’s Tariff War
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar will represent India at the BRICS Leaders’ Summit convened by Brazilian President Lula da Silva on September 8. The high-stakes virtual meeting comes as Donald Trump’s aggressive tariff regime triggers global backlash. India and Brazil, both hit with heavy US tariffs, will push back against what New Delhi has called “unfair and unreasonable” measures. Trump imposed additional tariffs on Indian imports over its purchase of Russian oil, while Brazil faces sweeping 50% duties on exports like coffee. The summit aims to forge a united BRICS response and reaffirm support for multilateralism amid escalating US trade wars. Following the recent SCO Summit where Modi, Xi, and Putin appeared together, the BRICS gathering could mark another turning point in India’s evolving strategy as global power balances shift. Will BRICS stand firm against Trump’s economic onslaught?
