 <p><strong>“US policy does not ask our partners to choose between the United States and other countries. We have repeatedly emphasized that the US does not want to limit countries’ partnerships with other countries. But we want countries to have choices on how to deliver results to their citizens as well,”</strong> she said.</p>

 <p><strong>“In times like these, every country in the world is aware of the importance of cooperation and partnership,”</strong> she said.<strong> “Every country must keep asking itself: Which partnership best suits its own values and interests? Which are of most benefit to it in the long run?”</strong></p> 
 <p>Baerbock said that Germany has channels of communication and trade deals with all the BRICS members except for Iran. She added that even the European Union is open for business with the BRICS members. Therefore, it is business as usual for the US and Germany, as the BRICS expansion has not caused an upset in the global markets.</p>
