Gathering in Delhi under India's host, leaders of the eleven BRICS member nations are discussing the impacts of US President Donald Trump's policies and the war in Tehran on global markets.

Key Topics on the Summit's Agenda

Leaders of eleven countries—including India, China, Russia, Brazil, South Africa, the United Arab Emirates, and Iran, alongside invited member Saudi Arabia—are coming together in Delhi.

At the summit, developments shaking global energy markets and the economic reflections of policies pursued by the Washington administration are being widely addressed.

Impact of US Policies on the Global Economy

Tariff threats by the administration of US President Donald Trump against both rivals and allies, as well as the war in Tehran, are creating uncertainty in the global economy.

The leaders are holding talks throughout the weekend to evaluate steps that can be taken in the face of challenges created by these geopolitical developments.

Divisions Within the Group and Expectations

Deep disagreements exist among BRICS members regarding how far to go against Washington, making it difficult to determine a common strategy.

A harsh joint communique directly targeting Washington is not expected due to India's ongoing trade deal negotiations with the US and the differing interests within the group's structure.

Security Measures and Current Status

Thousands of security personnel have been deployed in Delhi for the summit taking place over the weekend.

The war in Tehran and its resulting economic consequences rank among the top agenda items of the summit.
