White House on US Partners’ Interest in Joining BRICS
In a press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked about U.S. partners seeking membership in the BRICS economic bloc.
- Algeria and Egypt have applied to join BRICS as non-aligned forces against Western hegemony.
- U.S. policy does not force countries to choose between the United States and other nations.
- The U.S. wants countries to have choices on how to deliver results to their citizens.
Interest in the BRICS economic bloc has increased, with over 40 countries interested in joining. South Africa has received formal applications from 22 countries. It has invited leaders from Africa and the Global South, excluding Western countries like France.
Hot Take
The U.S. stance on U.S. partners joining the BRICS economic bloc is one of non-interference and promoting countries’ choices. As interest in joining BRICS grows, it indicates a global desire to de-dollarize and seek alternatives to Western dominance.
