Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva is set to host a virtual BRICS summit on September 8 to discuss the impact of US tariffs on Brazilian goods, including a 50 percent tariff on key products such as orange juice, while some items like airplanes are exempt. The meeting aims to foster a coordinated response among BRICS nations without framing it as an anti-US forum, Firstpost reported.

The summit coincides with broader diplomatic engagements involving China’s Xi Jinping, India’s Narendra Modi, and Russia’s Vladimir Putin, reflecting shifting global trade and geopolitical dynamics. The outcomes could influence future economic policies and strengthen cooperation among BRICS countries.
