Trump Confuses Spain as BRICS Member & Reiterates Tariff Threat

U.S. President Donald Trump mistakenly referred to Spain as a member of the BRICS bloc, leading to confusion and concern in Madrid. Trump also threatened to impose tariffs of at least 100% on BRICS countries, contradicting previous free trade agreements. Spanish Education Minister Pilar Alegría clarified that Spain is not part of BRICS and has been a NATO member for four decades. Despite Trump's comments, the Spanish government still considers the U.S. a 'natural ally.'
