The director of the BRICS Policy Center/PUC-Rio, Marta Fernández, gave an interview to BBC News Brasil.

In the article, experts discussed the possible reasons why the BRICS might cause so much discomfort to U.S. President Donald Trump.

It is precisely this stance that leads the American president to view the BRICS as an anti-hegemonic and, consequently, anti-American force.
