Trump Vs BRICS: In a move set to rattle global markets, former President Donald Trump has issued a severe warning to the BRICS nations and their allies. He threatens to impose a blanket 10% tariff on any country adopting what he terms "anti-American" policies backed by the bloc. This declaration comes after the 2025 BRICS Summit in Brazil, where the member nations, now numbering ten, issued a joint condemnation of recent US-Israel strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, calling them "illegal."
The BRICS bloc, now representing 45% of the global population and 35% of the world's GDP, has become a significant geopolitical force. In their summit, they also criticized the West's "double standards" on global terror, specifically citing the Pahalgam attack in Kashmir as an example. This direct reference brings the conflict to India's doorstep. Trump claims the tariff letters for 12 countries are already "signed and ready," though sources suggest this could be a strategic bluff to test the bloc's unity.
This escalating tension is rooted in BRICS's core mission: to reduce dependence on the U.S. dollar. With their internal trade hitting $1 trillion in 2025 through local currency systems, the bloc, heavily influenced by China and Russia, is seen as a direct challenge to America's sanctions power and its dominance via institutions like the IMF and G7. For Trump, the bloc's growing anti-West stance and expanding economic influence represents a primary threat to American global leadership, setting the stage for a potential economic war.

India has slammed the European Union's latest round of sanctions that target Nayara Energy’s Gujarat-based Vadinar refinery for its links to Russian oil giant Rosneft. As part of its 14th package of sanctions, the EU blacklisted 105 additional vessels and took aim at Nayara — the first Indian entity to face such direct action.
Brussels aims to throttle Moscow’s wartime funding, but New Delhi has accused the EU of "double standards" and reiterated its stance against unilateral sanctions. Nayara, heavily reliant on export markets in Europe and Africa, now faces disruptions, job threats, and uncertainty over Rosneft’s $20B stalled exit plan involving Reliance. India says it remains committed to its legal obligations but won’t compromise on energy security.

The U.S. has imposed new sanctions on Sudan following allegations that Khartoum’s military used chlorine gas during its war with the RSF. The sanctions restrict arms sales, financing, and exports to Sudan’s government for at least one year, though humanitarian aid and agricultural products remain exempt. Washington calls the attacks part of a wider crisis that has killed tens of thousands and displaced 13 million. Sudan’s government denies the claims, calling them “political blackmail.” The U.N. labels Sudan’s war the world’s worst humanitarian disaster, with 25 million in need of food aid.
