On January 20, 2025, Donald Trump was sworn in for his second term and quickly signed executive orders, including withdrawing from the Paris Agreement and the World Health Organization. He declared a national energy emergency to increase U.S. oil reserves and exports, and labeled illegal immigration at the U.S.-
Mexico border a national emergency. Trump also mistakenly called Spain a BRICS nation, though BRICS includes Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, and others. Spanish officials corrected him, and Trump proposed a 100% tariff on U.S.-Spain trade, potentially ending decades of free trade.
