Turkey Seeks BRICS Membership: Erdogan's Bold Move to Expand Global Influence Beyond the West
Turkey is making a strategic play to join the BRICS group of emerging-market nations, a move reflecting President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's ambition to broaden Turkey's global influence.
This bid comes as Erdogan's administration seeks to pivot away from Western alliances and enhance ties with key global players.
The push for BRICS membership highlights Turkey's frustration with stalled EU accession talks and its growing rifts with NATO allies over its relations with Russia.
By joining BRICS, Turkey aims to strengthen economic and political ties with countries like Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, positioning itself as a critical player in a multipolar world.
Speculation is rising over a possible ZelenskyâPutin showdown in Turkey, after reports that President Recep Tayyip Erdogan reached out directly to the Kremlin while appearing to sideline Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The move has sparked talk of Ankara shifting its balance between Moscow and Kyiv, even as tensions within NATO grow.

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.

The U.S. has shut its closest allies out of Ukraine peace intelligence in a stunning break with the Five Eyes alliance. A July 20 directive from DNI Tulsi Gabbard classified all RussiaâUkraine negotiation files as NOFORNâblocking access for the UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Reports first surfaced via CBS News, sparking outrage across NATO capitals. Critics say Trumpâs âAmerica Firstâ strategy risks fracturing the alliance, weakening Kyiv, and handing Moscow leverage, with allies warning of possible retaliation.

Russia has escalated the war in Ukraine with one of its biggest aerial assaults of the year, launching over 600 drones and missiles on western Ukraine, striking residential areas and even a U.S.-owned electronics plant near the Hungarian border. At least one person was killed and 15 injured, including six night-shift workers at the American-run Flex factory. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Moscow of deliberately targeting American businesses, declaring that Putin does not seek peace but aims to install a Russian puppet in Ukraine. The attack came just days after U.S. President Donald Trump met Putin in Alaska and hosted Zelensky and European leaders at the White House. While Russiaâs foreign minister claimed peace talks could happen, Zelensky said Moscowâs actions prove otherwise. The strike has raised tensions in Washington and Europe, with leaders weighing stronger sanctions and new military guarantees for Kyiv.

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.

At the Washington summit, Donald Trump didnât just attend â he dominated, humiliated, and exposed Europeâs weakness on the world stage. Russian analyst Fyodor Lukyanov declares that the EU no longer acts as an independent power but as Washingtonâs obedient puppet, bowing to Trumpâs moods and accepting Americaâs dictates. According to Lukyanov, the EUâs leaders now flatter the U.S. president, hoping praise will buy influence, but instead they only confirm their subservience. The summit wasnât really about Ukraine but about showcasing Europeâs reliance on American approval. While nations like China, India, and Brazil resist U.S. pressure, Europe folds without a fight. Lukyanov warns this isnât just Trumpâs personality but a structural decline in Europeâs autonomy. Once able to assert its own interests, the EU has now lost the courage to define them. For Russia, he argues, the EU has become irrelevant â a bloc with illusions but no real power.
