As Donald Trump intensifies his tariff war on nations like India and Brazil, a BRICS Strategic Awakening is underway. The five-member blocâBrazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africaâis realigning its collective strength to challenge Washingtonâs high-handedness. With renewed cooperation and resistance, this BRICS Strategic Awakening could reshape the global trade order. From bilateral pacts to bold diplomatic moves, the BRICS Strategic Awakening signals a global shift towards multipolarity.

In a major international development, former U.S. President Donald Trump has announced a sweeping 30% tariff on all goods imported from South Africa, set to begin on August 1. In a letter, Trump claimed South Africa's trade policies are "far from reciprocal," prompting this drastic measure. The White House has indicated that these tariffs could be adjusted based on the future of US-Pretoria relations.
Responding swiftly, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has sharply pushed back, labelling the tariff a "contested interpretation" of the current trade reality. In a statement from his office, Ramaphosa highlighted that South Africa's average tariff on imports is a modest 7.6%, and a staggering 77% of all U.S. goods enter the country completely duty-free. He has tasked a special team to urgently engage with U.S. officials on the matter.
High-stakes negotiations are already underway. U.S. and South African officials have met in Angola to discuss tariff relief and market access. South Africa's trade ministry is pushing to delay the deadline and negotiate a new framework, with sources indicating they are seeking to cap the duty rate at 10% as a potential compromise. The international community is watching closely as a Press Secretary Leavitt has hinted at a possible delay, leaving the future of US-South Africa trade hanging in the balance.

Donald Trump issued a bold warning to BRICS nationsâBrazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africaâaccusing them of trying to âundermine the dollar.â Trump declared a 10% tariff would hit any country aligning with BRICS or challenging U.S. currency dominance. âThe dollar is king. Weâre going to keep it that way,â he asserted. The statement signals Trumpâs aggressive stance on global finance and hints at harsh penalties for nations embracing BRICSâ alternative trade frameworks or currency cooperation.

Washingtonâs high-stakes pressure campaign against India has backfired. Despite unprecedented tariffs and repeated threats over Russian oil imports, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has refused to bend. Russian crude still accounts for nearly one-third of Indiaâs imports, and refiners show no signs of slowing down. Reports suggest Modi even ignored four calls from Donald Trump, signaling Indiaâs sovereignty is not for sale. Instead of bowing, New Delhi is deepening its BRICS diplomacy â sending top aides to Moscow, hosting Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi, and preparing for a landmark trip to China where Modi will meet Putin at the SCO summit. For the US, the outcome is bitter: higher prices for its own consumers, while India expands its strategic clout. As global power balances shift, Modi has made it clear â India wonât be bullied.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, alongside Indiaâs S. Jaishankar, accused the U.S. of weaponizing the dollar and using sanctions as âeconomic colonialism.â Lavrov warned that even allies are unsafe from Washingtonâs unpredictability, framing BRICS as a counterbalance to Western dominance. India backed the bloc, stressing it is ânot anti-West, just not Western.â With BRICS expanding to include nations like Iran, UAE, and Egypt, the bloc now represents over 40% of the global population, aiming to reshape financial systems, technology, and influence in the Global South.

As Trump imposes sweeping tariffs on India and China, leaders Modi, Xi, and Putin are coordinating a strategic response. Modi and Putin held a phone call to review bilateral ties, with Trump accusing India of funding Russiaâs war via oil trade. Xi also spoke with Putin, urging diplomacy with the U.S. but slamming Trumpâs âbullyâ tactics. The growing BRICS unity signals a serious counterweight to Washingtonâs tariff war, as all three powers challenge what they call unfair and illegal U.S. trade pressure.

Southeastern Greece is battling relentless wildfires, with flames threatening towns just 50 km from Athens and forcing mass evacuations. In Keratea and Palaia Fokaia, residents fled as gale-force winds drove the blaze into homes, killing one elderly man. Fire crews, backed by water-bombing aircraft, worked through the night to contain the inferno, while villages near Ancient Olympia were evacuated amid fears for the historic site. Meteorologists warn of âmeltemiâ winds reaching 70 km/h, fanning the fires across Attica and the Peloponnese.
The blazes have destroyed thousands of hectares of farmland, homes, and pine forests, raising alarms over long-term environmental devastation and economic loss. Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis convened an emergency cabinet meeting, calling the situation âfluid and dangerous.â With memories of past fire tragedies like Mati in 2018 still raw, Greece braces for more flare-ups as the weekendâs dangerous winds close in.
