US Pressure on Latin America to Avoid BRICS: Lost America’s Backyard?
Despite the BRICS group’s recent pause on accepting new full members, particularly emphasized by the Russian Foreign Minister, Brazil has actively advocated for the bloc’s continued expansion. Brazilian Ambassador to Russia, Rodrigo de Lima Baena Soares, revealed Brazil’s proposal of Colombia as a potential new BRICS member, as reported by the Russian News Agency TASS. This strategic recommendation was underscored by Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva during discussions with Colombian President Gustavo Petro, highlighting Colombia’s significance in the expansion plan.
In addition, Bolivia, under the leadership of President Luis Arce, has formally sought BRICS membership. Bolivia’s vast lithium reserves, essential for sustainable energy solutions, make it an attractive candidate for the bloc. Similarly, Venezuela, led by President Nicolás Maduro, has expressed a strong desire to join BRICS, emphasizing its substantial oil reserves. Venezuela’s application has garnered support from China, Russia, and Brazil, underscoring its strategic importance.
The expansion of BRICS into Latin America represents a significant geopolitical shift, diminishing the influence of the United States, which has traditionally viewed the region as its geopolitical “backyard.“ By incorporating more Latin American countries, BRICS aims to create a counterbalance to U.S. economic and political dominance. This move is expected to enhance regional integration, reduce dependence on U.S. markets, and promote a more diversified economic base.
In this video, we analyze the significance of Colombia, Bolivia, and Venezuela’s potential inclusion in BRICS and its implications for both BRICS and the United States. This development could potentially reshape the global order, altering economic alliances and geopolitical strategies. We will explore how this move could challenge U.S. dominance in Latin America and enhance BRICS’ influence on the world stage, thereby creating a new dynamic in international relations.
