An express negotiation is underway to prevent a shift to a tariff confrontation.

While Israeli strikes target sensitive Iranian sites and Tehran responds with missiles on Tel Aviv, the military escalation is redefining balances in the Middle East. However, a strategic absence intrigues: that of the BRICS. A newcomer to the bloc, Iran was counting on solid support against its sworn enemy.

In an economic context where every trade tension weighs on global markets, Washington has chosen firmness. On June 11, Howard Lutnick, Secretary of Commerce, ruled out any reduction in tariffs imposed on China. An unambiguous announcement, despite an agreement announced as "concluded" by both capitals.
