A thread 🧵

who currently makes up:
BRICS:
- Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa
<><><><><>
G7:
- Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States

Russia and China have stated they seek “changes that have not occurred for hundreds of years”

BRICS countries are following suit. Take Saudi Arabia - considering settling all oil trades in Chinese #Yaun. A major shakeup in global macroeconomics
5/ But BRICS aren’t settling with just 5 members - they are actively looking to expand. Shockingly, #Mexico is considering joining BRICS. Mexico has stated they have “having serious doubts about the US ability to trade on fair and equal terms.”
