Vice: Now Brazil’s President Says He Won’t Save the Amazon Unless He Gets an Apology from Macron
The “lungs of the planet” are on fire, and a dispute between Jair Bolsonaro and Emmanuel Macron has reached new levels of pettiness.
It looks like Donald Trump is picking sides in the dispute between Brazil’s president Jair Bolsonaro and French president Emmanuel Macron.
I have gotten to know President @jairbolsonaro well in our dealings with Brazil. He is working very hard on the Amazon fires and in all respects doing a great job for the people of Brazil – Not easy. He and his country have the full and complete support of the USA!
