Tap title to read story
The BRICS summit in Rio de Janeiro concluded with a declaration condemning increased tariffs and attacks on Iran, without explicitly naming the US or Israel. The summit was marked by the absences of Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin (who participated virtually). The declaration expressed concern over rising tariffs and NATO's increased military spending. Iran's foreign minister attended, criticizing the attacks and advocating for UN condemnation of Israel. While mentioning Ukraine once, the declaration condemned Ukrainian attacks on Russia.
