Brazil rejects G7 aid to tackle Amazon wildfires

TIL Desk/World/Braslia/ Brazil government has rejected the aid by G7 members to fight wildfires in the Amazon and asked French President Emmanuel Macron to focus on “France and its colonies”.

This comes after world leaders at the G7 summit in France pledged to spend a total amount of USD 22 million to fight the raging wildfires in the Amazon in South America that are threatening the world’s biggest rainforest.

“Thank you but maybe these resources would be more useful for restoring the forests of Europe. Macron has even failed to prevent a foreseeable fire in the cathedral, which is a world heritage site but wants to teach us how to deal with our country. He has many things to do in France and French colonies,” said Chief of Staff of the Presidency, Onyx Lorenzoni.
