<h1>Trump Mistakenly Labels Spain as BRICS Member, Sparking Concerns Over Possible Tariffs; Spain Affirms NATO, EU Membership.</h1> US President Donald Trump mistakenly identified Spain as a member of the BRICS bloc, causing confusion and concern in Madrid over potential tariffs. Spain is actually part of NATO and the European Union, not BRICS, which includes Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. Trump made the error while discussing NATO members' defense spending, noting Spain's low expenditure. He reiterated his intention to impose significant tariffs on BRICS countries. Spain's Education Minister clarified that Spain is not part of BRICS and emphasized Spain's longstanding NATO membership and alliance with the US. Spain was among eight NATO countries not meeting the 2% defense spending target.
