The BRICS group of nations has been meeting in New Delhi, India:
Global interest in BRICS keeps growing – Putin
13 September 2026
International interest in BRICS “continues to grow” as the group’s values and independent approach attract countries around the world, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Sunday.
Speaking at a BRICS Outreach/BRICS Plus session that concluded its 18th summit in New Delhi, Putin pointed to the broad participation in the meeting as evidence of its growing appeal.
“Our basic values and ideals, such as commitment to an independent and autonomous course and the desire to resolve problems collectively based on international law and the key provisions of the UN Charter, appeal to many around the world,” he said.
BRICS has expanded significantly beyond its original five members – Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa – in recent years and introduced a partner-country category for states seeking closer cooperation without full membership.
Putin described the organization as “one of the powerful driving forces” behind strengthening “genuine multilateralism” and forming a “new, fairer multipolar world order.” …
BRICS countries have also developed their own channels for moving goods, services, and capital, allowing financial and commercial operations to be conducted “without paying attention to external pressure,” Putin said.
He urged participants to consider Russian proposals for “building BRICS payment and settlement-depository infrastructure,” as well as establishing a reinsurance mechanism and a grain exchange.
Practical steps have already been taken. On the eve of the summit, the Russian Direct Investment Fund, BRICS Pay and BRICS Pay India agreed to explore integrating the payment platform with India’s existing infrastructure and to prepare pilot cross-border payment projects.
A group-wide payment mechanism has yet to be launched, however. The New Delhi Declaration said the BRICS Payment Task Force would continue seeking practical solutions for cross-border transactions. https://www.rt.com/news/645645-brics-putin-modi-xi/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=RSS

Chinese President Xi Jinping and his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, were among the leaders attending the gathering of the 11-member bloc in New Delhi at a time of global upheaval caused by the US-Israel war on Iran, Trump’s tariff war and the US’s unilateral decisions to promote its foreign policy.
Al Jazeera’s Um-e-Kulsoom Shariff, reporting from New Delhi, said the group “steered clear” of naming any countries, even on the issue of wide-ranging US tariffs. “We’ve seen BRICS countries who have been targeted, be it India, Russia, China, or any other, but they have stayed clear,” she reported. …
BRICS was founded in 2006 by Brazil, Russia, India and China, mainly as an economic forum. South Africa joined the grouping four years later. It has since expanded to include Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Indonesia.
The BRICS nations constitute nearly half the world’s population and account for approximately 40 percent of global gross domestic product (GDP).
The bloc has sought greater influence for developing economies in institutions traditionally dominated by Western powers …
Conveying India’s position, Modi insisted that … “BRICS is not against anyone,” he said, while arguing that the Global South should play a bigger role in shaping global governance. …
US tariffs
The declaration raised concern over “unilateral tariff and non-tariff measures” that distort trade, while also opposing sanctions imposed without UNSC authorisation.
Washington has imposed tariffs on several BRICS countries, including China, Russia and India, and President Donald Trump has previously described the grouping as “anti-American”. He threatened additional tariffs against countries aligning themselves with it.
Speaking at the summit, Putin accused countries “accustomed to thinking in colonial categories” of using tariffs, sanctions and “brute force” to contain emerging competitors. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/9/13/brics-summit-2026-what-are-the-key-takeaways
Resilience by BRICS appears to be somewhat synonymous with being better able to resist pressures from the United States.
One of the unintended consequences of USA sanctions against Russia and Iran, combined with tariff increases against nearly all other nations, is that it has been getting more nations to go against the USA and the use of its dollar for cross border purposes. Russia has been a leader in coming up with ways to better accomplish this (see also Russian sanctions-proof payment system bypassing SWIFT; Iran to join the BRICS ‘New Development Bank’). China, however, has also been looking towards its own cross-border payment system:
China’s emphasis on CIPS, its own cross-border renminbi payment system, instead of BRICS Bridge. Beijing still values BRICS as a diplomatic platform, but it increasingly appears prepared to build the financial infrastructure it wants through Chinese-controlled or bilateral channels. 09/12/26 https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2026-09-12/xi-scolds-bricsiran-end-war-chinas-patience-grows-thin

And when you consider that the European Union is trying to make inroads into the Global South because of Trump Administration policies, you can see basically that much of the world is uniting against at least some USA policies. Particularly when you consider that Donald Trump has also upset Canada, Mexico, and even Iceland in North America (see Canada’s 50% tariffs on USA goods now in effect: Donald Trump offends more allies with a map suggesting Iceland, Canada, Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean to be USA territory).
Related to BRICS and the USA dollar, notice the following which is in my book Lost Tribes and Prophecies: What will happen to Australia, the British Isles, Canada, Europe, New Zealand and the United States of America?:
Those in Iran and some of the Arab lands, along with nations such as Brazil, China, and India have discussed plans for the removal of the dominance of the U.S.A. in global trade as well. The former (again current) President of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, even claimed that eliminating the U.S. dollar’s reserve currency status was one of the reasons that the BRICS alliance (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) was formed in the first place. [i] Others have noted that bypassing the USA dollar is still an object of BRICS—and officially BRICS nations “are currently working on setting up a new global reserve currency,”[ii] which may have gold-backing.[iii] The expansion of BRICS (which is in progress) may ultimately even hurt Australian trade as well as “severely weaken primacy of the US Dollar as an international currency.”[iv]
The Bible clearly warns against cheapening the money supply and encourages having money hold its value (Proverbs 25:4 Isaiah 1:25, Ezekiel 22:18-22). Debt is also warned against (Habakkuk 2:6-8). Yet policies enacted under the Obama, Trump, and Biden Administrations, following certain other administrations, have ignored these warnings.

The war against Iran is also tending to accelerate to move away from the US dollar.
Notice also something from my free eBook Unintended Consequences and Donald Trump’s Presidency: Is Donald Trump Fulfilling Biblical, Islamic, Greco-Roman Catholic, Buddhist, and other America-Related Prophecies? :
Notice what Donald Trump stated in late 2024:
“The idea that the BRICS countries are trying to move away from the dollar while we stand by and watch is over,” Trump wrote in a Nov. 30 Truth Social post. …
“We require a commitment from these countries that they will neither create a new BRICS currency, nor back any other currency to replace the mighty U.S. dollar or, they will face 100 percent tariffs, and should expect to say goodbye to selling into the wonderful U.S. economy,” the president-elect recently wrote.
In October, speaking at the Economic Club of Chicago with Bloomberg, Trump warned … “We have to have that. We cannot lose it,” Trump said. “You’ll go to Third World status in this country because you take a look at the way things are running.” (Durden T. De-Dollarization Effort In Spotlight After Trump’s Tariff Threat On BRICS. ZeroHedge, December 3, 2024)
Yes, the impact of the USA dollar losing its reserve status would be horrible–and even worse than Donald Trump asserted. And things like 100% tariffs are inflationary.
The BRICS+ nations, which compose nearly half the population of the world, still want to bypass the US dollar.
US President-elect Donald Trump has threatened 100 percent tariffs on BRICS nations if they replace the dollar in international trade.
However, Brazil has indicated that it aims to boost the effort during its presidency of BRICS. President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva’s government has said its objective is the “development of means of payment” to facilitate trade between member countries.[i]
Furthermore, some suspect that more countries in BRICS+ may destroy the ‘petrodollar’ system that supports the dollar.[ii]
The USA dollar will ultimately crash and be worthless. That “pride” of American power will be broken (cf. Leviticus 26:19).

[ii] Dourian K. Are the BRICS gearing up to challenge the petrodollar? Middle East Economy, October 10, 2024
One day the US dollar will be toppled–but that will not fully happen in 2026.
It should be added that part of the purpose of the Euro was to bypass the USA dollar for international trade. And, that has happened completely within the Eurozone block in the EU.
Steps towards pushing away the Anglo-American dominance of the world for the past couple of centuries is happening.
Although BRICS will not dominate the world economically like the coming European Beast power will, the BRICS nations and their actions will have major impacts on the world.
Related to BRICS and the USA dollar, we put together the following video:
14:31
BRICS Push Aside USA Dollar
The BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) have as one of their founding goals, to eliminate the need to use USA dollars in cross-border trade. Six additional nations have been invited to join BRICS in 2024, and India reports that six more are also being looked at. The BRICS nations have already began to drop the USA dollar for some cross-border trading with Russia and China indicating that they had almost done so completely in late 2023. What will happen to the economy and value of the USA dollar if more and more nations stop using it as a primary reserve and trading currency? What about hyperinflation? Does the Bible prophesy destruction for a highly indented nation in the end time? Is the USA the most indebted nation of all time? What about the intent and use of the Euro? Will Europe and Asia cooperate to eliminate the USA and its British-descended allies?
Here is a link to our video: BRICS Push Aside USA Dollar.
A lot is happening.
The USA and its dollar will no longer remain “king.”
As Jesus said: “And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch!” (Mark 13:37).
