Can the BRICS challenge the EU?

Does the European Union (EU) face a formidable rival in the form of BRICS, a group comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa? This question gains further complexity with the recent expansion of BRICS, welcoming five new members - Iran, Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia, Egypt, and the UAE, now often referred to as BRICS+. The enlargement of BRICS into BRICS+ marks a significant shift, suggesting a growing and increasingly diverse coalition that could potentially challenge the EU's influence on the world stage. Our video delves into a detailed comparison between the original five BRICS countries and the EU, exploring the new BRICS+ members and potential future additions, to assess whether BRICS holds equivalent or greater power than the EU in global affairs.
