In an unscripted Oval Office exchange, President Donald Trump's latest misstep on geopolitics left reporters scrambling for clarity. The remarks came amid his signing of sweeping executive orders, including pardons for Capitol rioters.
While in the Oval Office for the first time during his second term as president, President Donald Trump made a gaffe regarding geopolitics during his first informal exchange with media.
This occurred at the same time as President Trump issued a plethora of new executive acts, such as withdrawing from the World Health Organization and pardoning around 1,500 individuals who stormed the Capitol on January 6.
Per The Raw Story, the president has made repeated claims about Spain being a member of the BRICS group-a global alliance consisting of South Africa, Brazil, Russia, India, and China-according to Matt Viser of The Washington Post. However, Viser quickly corrected the record, saying that Spain is not a member of the BRICS.
At its inception, the BRICS was more of a compilation of nations that analysts saw as experiencing similar rapid economic growth in the early 2000s than a formal alliance of these states. The alliance is more on paper than it is anything substantive, according to observers, despite the fact that these countries continue to convene for summits in theory.
Trump has a reputation for making statements that are utterly and utterly inaccurate with regard to politics and concerning history.
As the Revolutionary War took place more than a century before the invention of powered aviation, he made the infamous remark in 2019 that George Washington's army had taken airports from the British. This is an impossible claim to make given that the Revolutionary War took place.
On Monday, Donald Trump became the 47th President of the United States of America. In his second inaugural address, he said that the golden age of America began right now. At the same time, he rapidly asserted his dominance over the executive arm of government.
In his speech that lasted for thirty minutes and took place in the Rotunda of the Capitol, the newly elected president declared that the nation would enjoy prosperity and regain respect all around the world beginning today. Over the course of a short period of time, he appointed dozens of individuals to positions within the federal government.
Later in the day, President Trump went to an indoor version of the traditional presidential parade that was held at an arena in Washington. While there, he signed the first batch of dozens of anticipated executive actions that roll back Democratic policy on immigration, energy, trade, diversity rules, and other topics.
