Brazil's President Luiz Lula da Silva is urging BRICS nations to conduct trade using their own national currencies rather than the US dollar. According to NS3.AI, he highlights the need for finance ministers and central banks to devise practical solutions for de-dollarization, aiming to alleviate financial penalties on smaller countries. This initiative is anticipated to encounter resistance from the United States and will be a significant topic at the forthcoming BRICS summit in India.
