Developing nations at the BRICS summit on Monday brushed away an accusation from President Donald Trump that they are "anti-American," with Brazil's president saying the world does not need an emperor after the U.

Brazil’s Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva told Donald Trump to mind his own business after the US leader rushed to the defense of embattled former President Jair Bolsonaro, who is facing charges that he attempted a coup.

Brazil’s President Lula said global trade should not rely only on the US dollar and urged the need for alternative systems to reduce dependence on it.
