Brazil condemns Trump's announcement of additional tariffs on BRICS countries
Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva condemned on Tuesday US President Donald Trump's threats to impose tariffs on BRICS member states or those that express support for the group's policies.
During a joint press conference with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, broadcast by the Brazilian government on social media, the Brazilian president said, "We do not accept any criticism directed at the BRICS summit, and we completely reject what the President of the United States hinted yesterday about the possibility of imposing tariffs on the bloc."
The Brazilian president emphasized that BRICS brings together countries that seek peace, development, and the reduction of inequalities, adding, "We do not want wars, and we do not want confrontation. We want our countries to be able to achieve development and progress."
Earlier, US President Donald Trump announced the imposition of an additional 10 percent trade tariff on countries that express support for BRICS policies, deeming them anti-US.

Brazil nears joining Gaza genocide case at ICJ
Brasília - Saba: The Brazilian Foreign Ministry announced on Wednesday that it is in the final stages of submitting a formal request to join the genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) regarding its military actions in the Gaza Strip. In a statement cited by Quds Press, the ministry stressed that the ongoing atrocities in Gaza cannot be met with international silence. It emphasized that the global community must not remain idle in the face of violations against civilians in the besieged enclave. Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva stated on Tuesday that Israel is committing "genocide" in Gaza, clarifying that the situation is "not a war" but rather a systematic killing of civilians, particularly women and children. Latin American Nations Join South Africa's Case Five Latin American countries have successively joined the lawsuit filed by South Africa at the ICJ, accusing Israel of committing genocide against Palestinian civilians in Gaza during its continuous aggression since October 7, 2023. - Nicaragua was the first Latin American country to take this step, formally submitting a request to the court on February 16, 2024, to join as a "third party." It argued that Israel's actions in Gaza violate the 1948 Genocide Convention and called for accountability. - Colombia filed a similar request on April 5, 2024, stating its aim was to "defend the Palestinian people's right to life and dignity" and ensure accountability for crimes against civilians. - Chile submitted its formal request on September 13, 2024, following President Gabriel Boric's announcement in June that Chile would support South Africa's legal efforts, calling Gaza's humanitarian tragedy a matter requiring decisive legal action. - Bolivia officially joined the case on October 9, 2024, expressing full support for legal measures to hold Israel accountable. - Cuba intervened on January 13, 2025, submitting a declaration in support of South Africa's call for accountability over "grave and systematic violations of international humanitarian law." Brazil is now set to become the sixth Latin American country to join the case. ICJ's Provisional Measures On January 26, 2024, the ICJ issued provisional measures ordering Israel to take all possible steps to prevent acts of genocide in Gaza, including ensuring humanitarian aid access and preventing incitement to hatred. While the court has not yet ruled on the case's merits, it found South Africa's claims "plausible enough" to warrant urgent measures—a legal basis that prompted multiple countries to intervene. South Africa filed the lawsuit on December 29, 2023, accusing Israel of violating the Genocide Convention through its military operations in Gaza, which have killed tens of thousands of civilians, mostly women and children.

Washington Withdraws 700 Marines Deployed in Los Angeles
Washington - Saba: The U.S. Department of Defense (Pentagon) announced the withdrawal of 700 U.S. Marines from Los Angeles, thus ending a controversial deployment of these forces in the city. Former President Donald Trump had ordered the deployment of thousands of National Guard members and hundreds of Marines to Los Angeles last month to confront protests over arrests carried out by federal immigration authorities — a move opposed by city officials and California's Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom. Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said in a statement last night that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth 'directed the redeployment of the 700 Marines, whose presence sent a clear message: lawlessness will not be tolerated.' He added, 'Their swift response, steady discipline, and visible presence played a key role in restoring order and upholding the rule of law.' For her part, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass announced the Marines' withdrawal on the 'X' platform, calling it 'another victory' for the city and stating that the deployment of the forces had been 'unnecessary.' The Marines' withdrawal comes after the Pentagon announced last week that Hegseth had ordered the withdrawal of 2,000 National Guard personnel from Los Angeles, reducing the overall military presence in the city by nearly half.
