_Senior diplomats from BRICS countries will meet on Monday in Brazil to present a united front in the face of threats emerging from U.S. President Donald Trump’s aggressive trade policies._

_The group has expanded significantly since its inception in 2009—and now includes Iran, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates. It makes up nearly half of the global population and 39% of global GDP._

_The BRICS will be joined for discussions on Tuesday by nine other “partner” countries, including several former Soviet states, as well as Cuba, Malaysia, Thailand, Uganda and Nigeria._
