If you want to understand how Washington exercises power in the world, watch what it does when its closest allies try to deepen ties with each other. When EU chief Ursula von der Leyen proposed making Canada the European Union’s first-ever “associate member”, US President Donald Trump’s response was swift and blunt: “If they do that, if I think it’s at all a hostile act, I will put very serious tariffs or stop trading with Europe, on many things.” He called the idea “laughable” and Canada –...

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi has urged Germany to help steer the European Union away from protectionist measures against China, saying that Beijing and Brussels should not engage in trade wars just days before President Xi Jinping’s high-stakes US visit. “China and the EU are comprehensive strategic partners, and a trade war should not be fought between them,” Wang told his German counterpart Johann Wadephul in a phone call on Monday. According to a statement from China’s foreign ministry,...
Chinese President Xi Jinping is expected to meet US President Donald Trump in Washington this week, after the May talks in Beijing and before the November Apec summit in Shenzhen.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen’s state-of-the-union speech offered few details on new trade measures targeting China, but its sharp tone was designed to send a message to Beijing, analysts said.

Her remarks came as the European Union’s October deadline for...

US President Donald Trump threatened on Wednesday to cut trade with the European Union after the bloc proposed to make Canada its first-ever associate member. EU chief Ursula von der Leyen raised the prospect a day before Canadian leader Mark Carney was due to address the European Parliament. Her pitch comes as both Canada and the European Union seek to pivot away from an aggressive US under Trump’s leadership. “I think it’s laughable,” Trump told reporters when asked about the plan. “If they do...
India scored a diplomatic win at the latest Brics summit, analysts have said, after steering an increasingly unwieldy bloc towards a joint declaration despite deep divisions over geopolitical conflicts and the global order. Observers said New Delhi achieved “pragmatic consolidation” by avoiding forcing members to assign blame for contentious geopolitical issues, keeping the focus on trade, technology and greater representation for the Global South. That compromise came at a cost, however, with...

Os participantes da reunião de Cúpula do Brics, neste fim de semana em Nova Delhi, capital da Índia, manifestaram “profunda preocupação” com tensões no Oriente Médio, criticaram a imposição de tarifas unilaterais no comércio internacional e defenderam que o Brasil tenha papel maior no Conselho de Segurança das Nações Unidas. O posicionamento está na declaração do encontro, chamada “Construindo para a Resiliência, Inovação, Cooperação e Sustentabilidade” e divulgada neste sábado (12). Notícias relacionadas:Índia sedia Cúpula do Brics no fim de semana.Brasil aponta tratamento discriminatório em tarifas dos Estados Unidos.Brasil amplia comércio com Índia e retoma diálogo sobre tarifaço.O Brics é formado por Brasil, Rússia, Índia, China, África do Sul, Arábia Saudita, Egito, Emirados Árabes Unidos, Etiópia, Indonésia e Irã. Os 11 países representam 39% da economia mundial, 48,5% da população do planeta e 23% do comércio global. Em 2025, o grupo foi presidido pelo Brasil, e a reunião anual ocorreu em julho, no Rio de Janeiro. Irã x EUA Uma das expectativas para a reunião em Nova Delhi era como o Brics se comportaria em relação à guerra no Oriente Médio, iniciada em fevereiro deste ano, quando Estados Unidos e Israel lançaram ataques contra os iranianos, sob o argumento de que o país desenvolvia armas nucleares. O Irã nega a acusação. Em retaliação à agressão, o Irã fez ataques aos Emirados Árabes e à Arábia Saudita, países alinhados aos EUA e integrantes do Brics. Com 35 páginas e 140 parágrafos, a declaração do encontro manifesta preocupação com a situação, mas não se direciona exclusivamente à região do Golfo Pérsico. O Parágrafo 28 não cita diretamente os países envolvidos nem usa a palavra guerra. “Expressamos profunda preocupação com a contínua escalada das tensões no Oriente Médio/Ásia Ocidental e, recordando nossas respectivas posições nacionais, conclamamos ao exercício da máxima contenção, bem como à abstenção de ações que possam agravar ainda mais a situação.” Em documentos diplomáticos, é comum a prática de não citar nomes e países em pontos específicos, facilitando a chegada de consenso para redação de declarações. A reunião de Nova Delhi contou com a presença de líderes de relevância no cenário internacional e regional, como o anfitrião e primeiro-ministro da Índia, Narendra Modi, e os presidentes Xi Jinping (China), Vladimir Putin (Rússia), Cyril Ramaphosa (África do Sul) e Masoud Pezeshkian (Irã). Os Emirados Árabes Unidos enviaram o príncipe herdeiro de Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. O Brasil foi representado pelo ministro das Relações Exteriores, Mauro Vieira. Reforma da ONU Em outro ponto da declaração, o Brics defende a reforma do Conselho de Segurança da Organização das Nações Unidas (ONU), “com o objetivo de torná-lo mais democrático, representativo, eficaz e eficiente, e de ampliar a representação dos países em desenvolvimento”. O conselho é o principal órgão da organização encarregado de zelar pela manutenção da paz e da segurança no planeta. É formado por 15 países, dos quais apenas cinco têm status de permanentes e com poder de veto: EUA, China, Rússia, Reino Unido e França. Há décadas o Brasil pleiteia assento permanente. Na declaração, os países enfatizam a posição de China e Rússia. “China e Rússia, como membros permanentes do Conselho de Segurança da ONU, reiteram seu apoio às aspirações do Brasil e da Índia de desempenhar um papel maior na ONU, incluindo seu Conselho de Segurança.” O texto não cita especificamente a entrada do Brasil como membro permanente. Tarifaço Os signatários do texto expressaram críticas a barreiras no comércio internacional, como a imposição de tarifas unilaterais. “Manifestamos sérias preocupações com o aumento de medidas tarifárias e não tarifárias unilaterais que distorcem o comércio e são incompatíveis com as regras da Organização Mundial do Comércio.” O documento não menciona nominalmente os Estados Unidos, país que tem aplicado tarifas a parceiros comerciais desde que Donald Trump assumiu a Presidência, em 2025. O nome de Trump não aparece no texto. Assim como o Brasil, China e Índia estão entre os principais alvos do tarifaço americano. Moedas locais A declaração aponta que os países caminham para soluções práticas de mecanismos eficientes de pagamentos transfronteiriços, em moedas locais, mas não faz nenhuma menção à criação de uma moeda específica do Brics nem de proposta de substituição do dólar. Combate à desigualdade No 15º parágrafo, os signatários assinalam que erradicar a pobreza em todas as suas formas e dimensões, incluindo a forma extrema, “é o maior desafio global e requisito indispensável para o desenvolvimento sustentável”. O documento registra a proposta do Brasil e da África do Sul para estabelecer um painel internacional sobre desigualdade.
Chinese President Xi Jinping told Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday that although the two countries had different national circumstances, “there is ample scope for us to learn from each other’s strengths, offer mutual support, achieve shared success and pursue common development.” The two leaders met on the sidelines of the Brics summit in New Delhi, where trade, investment, the long-running border dispute and the normalisation of ties took centre stage. Xi, in his opening remarks, also...
