BRICS summit ended on Monday in Brazil following threats from US President Donald Trump, to which the group responded asserting its autonomy.

Leaders of the BRICS group of emerging economies meeting for their annual summit had hoped to downplay any differences with the U.S. But even a toned down group proclamation drew the ire of President Trump.

At the BRICS summit in Rio de Janeiro, leaders from Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa dismissed U.S. President Donald Trumps accusations of being anti-American and threats to impose new tariffs.
