BRICS Just Crushed American Farmers—How BRICS Is Redefining Global Trade and Leaving U.S. Behind

With the expansion of BRICS beyond its original five members, a new trading system is emerging that challenges the dollar-dominated, U.S.-led financial model. This shift has caused a steep drop in U.S. agricultural exports, as countries like China cancel large orders of American wheat, corn, and soybeans in favor of BRICS partners like Brazil.
