Nigeria Stands Firm Amid US Threat Over BRICS Alliance
Nigeria responds by rejecting US sanctions threats following President-elect Donald Trump's comments on BRICS membership. The country stands firm despite the warning from the incoming US leader.
Nigeria has taken a strong stance against US President-elect Donald Trump's threat to impose sanctions on countries that join the BRICS economic bloc, dismissing the move as an empty bluff. In October, Nigeria had expressed interest in joining the BRICS grouping, which includes Russia, China, India, and South Africa, but Trump warned of potential economic repercussions if it did so. Undeterred by the warning, the Nigerian government has continued to explore membership, indicating that it is not willing to back down from the opportunity to strengthen its global ties and boost its economy. By calling out Trump's threat, Nigeria is sending a clear message about its confidence in its own economic resilience.
