trump demands high tariffs on Spain, because, "they’re a BRICS nation, Spain. Do you know what a BRICS nation is? You’ll figure it out."
Spain is not a member of BRICS, and has nothing to do with them. It is a member of the EU, which in turn is a member of the G7. BRICS is meant to be a counter balance to the G7, and countries like Spain. So Spain is about as opposite to a member of the BRICS as it can be.
You might say these sort of mistakes happen to us all, but the rest of us correct ourselves, or at least do not make the mistake repeatedly. Once a false idea is in trump's head, it might never come out. he has repeated his claim that Spain is a member of BRICS more and more angrily as everyone tries to correct him.
