In a dramatic geopolitical turn, Saudi Arabia has reportedly stepped away from the BRICS alliance—comprised of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa.
Instead, the Kingdom has forged a massive \$600 billion strategic agreement with the United States, marking a significant shift in international alliances.
This new alignment hints at Saudi Arabia’s pivot back towards Western influence, even as BRICS pushes forward with efforts to reduce reliance on the U.S. dollar by promoting local currencies and exploring the creation of a new global reserve currency.
The wide-ranging U.S.-Saudi deal is expected to touch on sectors such as trade, defense, energy, technology, and finance.
This unexpected move is set to ripple across global power dynamics, potentially undermining BRICS' vision of a more balanced, multipolar world order.
