Within hours of taking office, Donald Trump made a major mistake

On January 20, 2025, Donald Trump sworn in as the president of the country for the second time. However, within mere hours of taking office, he made a major mistake.

Right after his inauguration, he signed a number of executive orders, which represent legally-binding written orders to the federal government that does not require approval from the congress.

Among the rest, Trump withdrew the country from the landmark Paris Agreement and the World Health Organization, telling the crowd gathered at a sports arena in Washington DC that he would revoke “80 destructive and radical executive actions of the previous administration.”

Further, President Trump declared a national energy emergency, promising to fill up strategic oil reserves and distribute U.S. energy globally.

“We will be a rich nation again, and it is that liquid gold under our feet that will help to do it,” he said.

He declared illegal immigration at the US-Mexico border a national emergency, planning to send troops to help immigration agents and restrict refugees and asylum.

He signed executive orders regarding foreign affairs as well.

On his first day in office, President Trump made his first blunder.

Asked about NATO countries that don’t meet the minimum economic output on defense of 2%, including Spain, he said, “Spain is very low. They’re a BRICS nation, Spain. Do you know what a BRICS nation is? You’ll figure it out.”

However, Spain is not a BRICKS nation. In fact, BRICKS refers to an intergovernmental organisation for developing countries. These countries include Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran and the United Arab Emirates.

Further, Trump suggested he was going to put “at least a 100 per cent tariff on the business they do with the United States.”

These plans would bring an end to decades of free trade between the nations.

Minister Pilar Alegría, a spokesperson for the Spanish government commented Trump’s mistake. “I don’t know if the affirmation made by President Trump was the result of a mix-up or not, but I can confirm that Spain is not in BRICS,” she said.
