Iraqi MP Zeinab Al-Mousawi, a prominent member of the parliamentary Oil and Energy Committee, urged the government to make joining the BRICS group a top priority.
Mousawi stressed that this move would bring numerous economic benefits to Iraq, including expanded trade opportunities and enhanced economic independence.
Mousawi stated that BRICS members "are rich in oil, metals, rare minerals used in technological industries, and grains."
Iraq is blessed with abundant resources, including extensive oil reserves, fertile land for agriculture, natural gas, and minerals.
We want to be "Free of Washington's financial and trade restrictions," Mousawi summed it up to Amwaj Media.

Ramaswamy supports Trump and commodity-backed currency

Billionaire entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy claims BRICS is developing a gold-backed currency to replace the U.S. dollar as the world's primary reserve currency.
"This is a major problem for the United States.
This would permanently increase our borrowing cost if the dollar is no longer the established reserve currency of the world.
So yes, actually, that does matter. The right way to deal with it, though, is not to try to swat that down, but increase the value proposition of the dollar itself by pegging the dollar to hard commodities," he stated in a press conference.
Vivek Ramaswamy dropped out of the presidential race and endorsed Donald Trump. Known for supporting currencies backed by commodities, his alliance with Trump suggests a shared vision for economic stability and challenges to traditional fiat systems.
