Presidential spokesman Rego Barros stated that the Brazilian government is willing to accept financial support from organizations and countries to help fight the wildfires in the Amazon. The money will be under the control of the Brazilian people once it enters the country. Additionally, a diplomatic source in Brasilia revealed that the Brazilian government had received 10 million pounds from Britain for the same purpose. Bolsonaro's press office was not able to provide immediate comment on this information. Earlier on Tuesday, Bolsonaro stated that he would only consider accepting a $20 million offer of aid from the Group of Seven wealthy nations if French President Emmanuel Macron retracted the "insults" against him. Bolsonaro and Macron have been involved in a highly personal and public exchange of words recently, with Bolsonaro making fun of Macron's wife and accusing the French leader of disrespecting Brazil's sovereignty. Macron has called Bolsonaro a liar and suggested that Brazilian women are "probably ashamed" of him. The French president's office declined to provide a comment. Brazil's president is facing increasing isolation on the global stage due to his handling of the fires, which many see as a crucial defense against global climate change. The response from the far-right government could jeopardize Brazil's trade agreements and influential agribusiness sector, which plays a vital role in its struggling economy. Flávio Dino, the governor of Maranhao state, emphasized the importance of not rejecting financial support during a meeting where Bolsonaro promised to collaborate with states on legislative measures by Sept. 5 to prevent future forest fires. Dino warned that Brazil's anti-environmental stance could lead to international penalties, as the number of fires in the country has surged by 80% compared to last year. A Reuters witness observed houses abandoned near Porto Velho, Rondonia, due to the intense forest fires. According to the speaker, there were scattered showers on Tuesday but they were not enough to extinguish the fires. It is predicted that widespread rain capable of putting out the fires is still weeks away, based on weather data and the opinions of two experts. An unidentified local farmer expressed concerns that the fires would worsen next week, which is typically the driest time in the forest. Following discussions about the fires affecting a region often referred to as "the lungs of the world", G7 leaders pledged $20 million at a summit in France on Monday. This offer has caused tensions within Bolsonaro's nationalist government. Some officials appreciate the much-needed assistance, while others see it as a colonial gesture that undermines Brazil's sovereignty over its lands. Bolsonaro angered Macron by making a disrespectful comment about the French President's wife on Facebook. Macron has criticized Bolsonaro for lying about climate change policies. Bolsonaro stated that he would only consider accepting G7 funds if Macron apologized for his previous remarks. Bolsonaro stated that Macron must retract his insults before any discussions or acceptance of aid from France can occur. Brazil is open to accepting international aid as long as they can determine how the funds are used. US President Trump expressed his support for Bolsonaro on Tuesday. The Brazilian president is putting in a lot of effort to address the Amazon fires and is doing a fantastic job for the people of Brazil, which is a challenging task. President Trump expressed his full support for him and his country. Bolsonaro, in response on Twitter, stated that they are successfully combating the wildfires and emphasized Brazil's commitment to sustainable development. The fires are not only affecting Brazil, but also Bolivia, with a significant area burning near its borders with Paraguay and Brazil. Peru and Colombia have invited Bolsonaro to attend a meeting on September 6 to discuss the situation and collaborate on a long-term plan to prevent deforestation. Norway's environment minister is encouraging representatives from Equinor, Yara, and Norsk Hydro to ensure that their supply chains in Brazil are not connected to deforestation.
