On January 20, 2025, Donald Trump was inaugurated for his second term as President of the United States. Wasting no time, he signed several executive orders on his first day back in office. Among the key actions were the withdrawal of the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement and the World Health Organization, decisions that immediately sparked debate. He also declared a national energy emergency and took steps to address illegal immigration along the U.S.-Mexico border.
However, Trump’s day was not without controversy. During a speech, he mistakenly referred to Spain as a member of the BRICS group—an alliance consisting of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. This error was quickly corrected by the Spanish government, which clarified that Spain is not part of BRICS. The slip-up became a talking point on social media and news outlets, overshadowing his first-day policy moves.
