Press Donald Trump to impose an economic blockade on Brazil

Great to know that Mr. Macron and other world leaders are taking it so seriously. But my question is why aren’t they taking any steps to stop it!! It’s a catastrophe. It’s time for action not to play the blame game!!AmazonFires

awesome! we need more leaders like him!

Finally! Someone is standing up! Can anyone else UN back France up on this

Leadership.

I think all you instagram models and “public figures” should take a week off of posting selfies and bashing everyone and spread awareness of the fires in the AmazonRainforest AmazonFire amazonrainforestfire forestfire amazon

The thing is, it’s not an internal matter. The destruction affects the world. And trade by definition is across countries. Therefore connecting the two is entirely reasonable

But he will not block weapon trade with India. Becuz India is giving more money then Brazil Indian army killing un armed Kashmiri. 18 days lock down in kashmir 1 million Indian army No internet no media no food 9 million Kashmiri is in cage. Show some humenty

Do it! Watch France fall as they lose trade with the UK and Brazil!

YES!!!! Do it!!

Hell yeah, stop that lunatic!

Wants 2 block his arse hole that's on fire

Leadership right there. Has to happen

Excellent start! We need to get the UN involved in this. StopBolsonaro VoteClimate BoycottBrazil

Macron You are a liar, are releasing photo of 1989 fire, amazonia is not your home, Amazonia is from Brazil. We Brazilians who are here know that it is a lie what some of the press are saying , you president of France is talking about. Go plant trees in your country!

Well... Not unexpected.. The EU has been telling UK what they would accept for long but the conservatives just decided to drag their power grabbing streak!

HecSkill This is why I like the French. It’s a start.

Irelands PM said exactly the same thing earlier this morning.

thiagopethit Part of France is Ín South-America !!!

After he makes the other 27 to agree!

What a leader! Over to you BoZo...

leandraleal Uau! Quem diria...

By the way, I am in favor of the Mercosur-EU agreement being terminated. The most affected countries will be progressives such as Argentina and Uruguay. And, outside the Agreement, Brazil could burn the forest without guilty. I can burn it myself, no problem.

Macron seized the moment to meet the request of the French farmers, one of the most protectionist in the world. Brazil, even with the burnings, still protects its forest and nature more than France.

But will he block the Rafale deal with India over Kashmir Curfew and impending Geniocide?

Watch and learn tiny island, watch and learn. BollocksToBrexit ❤️🇬🇧🇪🇺❤️

Sanctions.... Ok... Now stop taxing West African countries: colonial tax

About time

leandraleal Please save us from a mad mad man that wants to destroy, to turn forests into cattle pasture, to sell all Brazilian companies, to turn his own people into slaves of rich countries. HELP US ActForTheAmazon ImpeachmentBolsonaro

DavidHeadViews Merci EmmanuelMacron !

President Jair Bolsonaro will suspend the expulsion of the French ambassador in the coming hours

The U.K. should do the same with any post-Brexit trade deal, I’m sure Brazil will be devastated...

Brexit latest news: Emmanuel Macron expects UK to leave EU without a dealEmmanuel Macron, the French president, is expecting the UK to leave the EU without a withdrawal agreement. No-one is wanting to 'throw Ireland under the bus!' Why are You making this crap up.. And he will be receiving no money either. Merkel will not throw Ireland under a bus. But a No Deal does exactly that. I believe this is a joint effort between Germany and France to steal Irish trade and Companies.
