“US Policy does not ask our partners to choose between the United States and other countries. We have repeatedly emphasized that the US does not want to limit countries’ partnerships with other countries. But we want counties to have choices on how to deliver results to their citizens as well.”

The upcoming BRICS summit should see expansionary guidelines set in place by the bloc. Moreover, it should present discourse regarding what countries could meet those criteria to join the economic alliance. Alternatively, the US has clearly welcomed its partner’s exploratory action of that proposition.
