Saudi Arabia Drops BRICS, Inks $600B Strategic Deal With US in 2025
Saudi Arabia has pivoted from BRICS to a $600 billion strategic economic partnership with the United States, marking a significant geopolitical shift. The agreement, signed during President Donald Trump’s visit to Riyadh, focuses on enhanced cooperation in energy, mining, and defense sectors. This deal represents Trump’s first major foreign policy achievement since returning to the WHITE House.
The move away from BRICS alignment signals a recalibration of Saudi Arabia’s economic alliances. Market analysts suggest the US-Saudi pact could influence global commodity flows and energy markets, with potential Ripple effects across emerging markets and digital asset ecosystems.
