President Jair Bolsonaro appears to contradict his own communications office, who said Brazil will reject $20 million in Amazon fire aid pledged at the G7. When asked about the offer, Bolsonaro replied, 'Did I say that?'

The special communications office for President Jair Bolsonaro told CNN on Tuesday morning that Brazil would turn down the money that was pledged at the G7 summit in France the day before.But around an hour after his communications office confirmed that Brazil would reject the funding, Bolsonaro appeared to cast doubt on the matter."Did I say that? Did I? Did Jair Bolsonaro speak?" he asked reporters outside the presidential residence.

International helpSpeaking alongside Macron at the G7 on Monday, Chile's President Sebastián Piñera announced a new two-step process for fighting the Amazon blazes.He said the first step was to cover the emergency and collaborate with Amazonian countries in fighting the fires.The next phase would be focused on protecting the forest's biodiversity then working on reforestation. Piñera said this would be agreed at the United Nations General Assembly in New York in September.

npwcnn Who are these Bozos running countries today? Hello, the Amazon is on Fire!

npwcnn he’s a shame

npwcnn That is putting himself above the interests of the world. No wonder trump supports him.

npwcnn CONSIDERING?!! He rejects! Because bullies like you who are slaves to the EU! Trouble makers you lot!!! Watch out Indonesians!! jokowi this EU isn’t helping the country they’re trying to take over it by giving more Loans with ‘something’ in return going to be paid! Death

npwcnn Macron do not apologize to this nut

npwcnn His face is more important than Amazon?

npwcnn

I can only say it again; this president is one of the stupidest in the world. No brain only greed of power. Anything else anyone says is a fake like Trump.

BolsonaroIsWorseThanTrump

Il est aussi bien éduqué que Trump ! Misère...

Trumpaiaso

All these men have to go. Brazil, Russia, Venezuela, Phillipines, US, Israel et al...pretty much all dictators have to be replaced with women.

I can see why he's called the Trump of Brazil.

This is the best Brazil could get?

- What to expect from the liar idiotadeipanema ? - Contradictions, lies, fakes, stupidities etc... This is the president of poor Brazil. I'm sorry

jairbolsonaro - - - - - - - - I don't care what he says. Go in and put those fires out. Fvck him EmmanuelMacron

I hope his health is as bad his skin looks.

If there was ever an appropriate time for a coup...

mariana_godoy Vocês não sabem do que estão falando e publicando , venham se informar primeiro para depois divulgar o que é correto

A Trump like fool leads Brazil. Sound familiar?

mariana_godoy Safe us , he is terrible !!

mariana_godoy Vocês adoram distribuir gasolina, né? Lamentável!!

Donnys long lost brother?

Sounds like Trump.

Well what do you expect, he makes 20mil every hour from drug exports. Drop in the ocean comes to mind

Mentally impaired; like his sugar daddy, Trump! 😬

Trump2020

F cnn

Sounds familiar? 😒

This man needs to be arrested and tried at the Hague for crimes against humanity for not accepting aid to save the lungs of our planet.

Am sure he'll take the money, but what will he do with it?

OHH... Was Acosta the 'Crack Reporter' on this story too? or CNN just wants to further their unbelievable reporting.

Viejo pendejo!vthis is a global emergency not just for his country but for everyone else’s as well.

He and Trump are twins.

Coz Trump continues to get away with it. The world is run by evil men

Omg, the two are related.

Is he trying to avoid paying back the $20m? What's really going on?

If CNN is reporting its fake news with a spin. Gave up on them years and years and years ago

They want the money, they just don't want it spent on putting out the fire. How can the money be directed to their pockets?

Esos son los PAYASOS que pone como sus sirvientes EEUU para proteger sus grandes inversiones, capitales y negocios. Es engreído de TRUMP. Pobre pueblo brasileño. Va a terminar como MACRI en Argentina.

He is a good and a simple man. What he is trying to do it's nota easy: is to break the corruption installed by the Worker's Party, who is the major comunist party in Brazil.

Hey somebody there! Send me even a hundredth of that $20m if nobody wants it, there is a fire in my compound or I can even light one to get the money !

Did I said that I wouldn't have said such silly things Trump's lies and denials are spreading like wild fires around the world

Don’t send aid and don’t do business with Brazil until they accept help putting out the fires. Yes it’s Brazil’s trees, but that area is critical to global health. If he messes with that, there should be a cost, a big one

He likes our BoyKing

We shall not be able to breathe in the near future.

He is a piece of work

This world needs a revolution

HawthorneFox What a guy.

He does not know he effect of it when the Amazon is completely burned down. Does he even know about climate change? Like wtf. People outside Brazil are worried and wanted to help but the leader in Brazil don't do a single shit.

Do we know how the fire was started?

Hi Brazilian trump...

We can't loose the rain forest!

bOlsonaro is nothing but pUtin's BOSOnada!!

Seems to be a confused president and endowed with some sense of arrogance

CNN gone fishin again

Wow. Just wow. Poor Brasil to have such a stupid and short-sighted so-called leader. Sounds too familiar, unfortunately.

Trump wannabe following same strategy of denial after getting caught.

CouraudMaya An another serial liar😔

Maybe he is right

jairbolsonaro would doom himself if he refuses the G7s offer & refuses to fight fires in the Amazon rainforest. Neither Brazilians nor the world will stand for a tyrrant who lets 20% of Earth's oxygen supply be destroyed. BrazilGovNews AmazonRainforest AmazonFires /1

Just stop giving that corrupt man money. Just stop buying things from Brazil until he stops burning it all down. boycottbrasil

nobody loves Macron..

His wife probably just slapped him upside the head....to remind him that she has to go on a shopping spree and need $$$$$

Related to trump.

How are there so many absolute fuckwits currently in power around the world ... ?!

This is so depressing. Why are people like this elected

“Appears” real news sources say “Brazil will accept the 20 million if Frances Macron apologizes for pushing “the world is burning” narrative” with the G7 stage. Commenting “Macron couldn’t stop a church fire.”

Brazil has their own Trumptard president ! We feel your pain Brazil. :(

here´s the one and only guilty, do you want to save the amazon? practice your spanish we dont speak your laungage in latinoamerica

Trump 2.0

Seems there’s a bunch of places in the world where we, the people, need to demand real leaders over bought and paid for politicians.

TrumpMiniMe

Trump's Twin! I'm sorry for the people of Brazil! We have our Lunatic, and you have Yours!

Amazing that this world has not just one trump, but two at the same time causing tangible harm to the world.

Is he related to dtrump ?

On this issue comes across more of a left wing politician than of somebody who is to the right of Donald Trump

What the 🧐🤨🙄

He may be whacked out then.

He’s taking a page from realDonaldTrump ‘s book.

And you believe in CNN 🙄

Oh boy! Whoooop! Whooop! Alert! I smell another needle d$cked dictator in the making🤷🏻‍♂️

Je préfère le🇫🇷

I believe we should talk sustainability. The whole world and its tax payers should pay Brazilians a nice tool to cover our opportunity cost so we preserve the Amazon and not destroy forests as US/ EU/ others always did to develop their countries and get their progress/ life style

this is getting Ridiculous. doesn’t anyone care about the rainforest?

Brazil ? Isn't this the same country that defaults on billions in loans every decade ? Hey maybe we can buy Brazil or just the Amazon

LMAO You can't even MAKE this shit up. Wow...& he's the PRESIDENT?!?!

Bolsonaro passando vergonha internacional. forasalles forabolsonaro
