Donald Trump said that Spain is a BRICS nation: US President Donald Trump has threatened to impose 100 percent tariff on BRICS countries. But meanwhile Trump made a big mistake in his speech. Due to which now his speech is going viral. He said that BRICS countries are planning to use their own currency instead of dollar and if these countries including Spain do so then we will impose tariffs on them. Now this part of his speech is going viral because Spain is not a part of the BRICS countries. The S in BRICS stands for South Africa, however, Donald Trump may have confused it with Spain. BRICS has now expanded, but its initial members were Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.
In his speech, Trump called Spain a part of BRICS countries.
At the same time, Spain is a member of the NATO organization, which is led by America. Spain also has membership of the European Union. In fact, a journalist questioned that Spain is a member of NATO and yet it does not spend even 2% of its economic output on defence. A limit of 2% has been imposed for NATO member countries. But Spain, a member of the 32-nation bloc, spent only 1.28% on defense last year. When questioned on this, Donald Trump said, ‘Spain is at the bottom. Then he suddenly started mentioning BRICS. He said, ‘Spain is a BRICS country.’ Do you know which are the BRICS countries? You should know about this.
Spain is angry with this statement of Donald Trump
Along with this, he once again threatened that if necessary, we will impose 100 percent tariff on BRICS countries. It will become difficult for them to do business with America. On the other hand, Spain is also angry with this statement of Donald Trump. Spanish government spokesperson and Education Minister Pilar AlegrÃa said, ‘It is beyond our understanding why Trump made such comments. We don’t know why Trump said this. He must have made some mistake or made some mistake. But it is certain that Spain is not a part of the BRICS countries. Spain has been a committed member of NATO for the last 4 decades. We have been seeing the American government as our ally.
