World Affairs In Context

The BRICS bloc of developing nations on Sunday condemned the increase of tariffs and attacks on Iran, but refrained from naming Donald Trump. The group's declaration, which also took aim at Israel's military actions in the Western Asia.

The two-day summit was marked by the absences of two of its most powerful members. China's President Xi Jinping did not attend a BRICS summit for the first time since he became his country's leader in 2012. Russian President Vladimir Putin, who spoke via video conference, continues to mostly avoid traveling abroad due to an international arrest warrant issued after Russia invaded Ukraine.

In an indirect swipe at the United States, the group's declaration raised "serious concerns" about the rise of tariffs which it said were "inconsistent with WTO (World Trade Organization) rules." The BRICS added that those restrictions "threaten to reduce global trade, disrupt global supply chains, and introduce uncertainty."

Donald Trump, in a post on his social media platform late Sunday, said any country that aligns itself with what he termed "the Anti-American policies of BRICS" would be levied an added 10% tariff.

Brazil's President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who hosted the summit, criticized NATO's decision to hike military spending by 5% of GDP annually by 2035. That sentiment was later echoed in the group's declaration.

"It is always easier to invest in war than in peace," Lula said at the opening of the summit, which is scheduled to continue on Monday.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, who was expected to attend the summit before the attacks on his country in June, sent his foreign minister Abbas Araghchi to the meeting in Rio.

The group's declaration criticized the crimes against Iran, without mentioning the United States or Israel, the two nations that conducted them.

In his speech, Araghchi told leaders he had pushed for every member of the United Nations to condemn Israel strongly. He added Israel and the United States should be accountable for crimes and rights violations. The Iranian foreign minister said the aftermath of the invasion, "will not be limited" to one country.

"The entire region and beyond will be damaged," Araghchi said.

BRICS leaders expressed "grave concern" for the humanitarian situation in Gaza
