Brazil: Brazil's President Jair Bolsonaro reacted strongly on Wednesday (Brazilian time) to a referendum, according to a CNA report on Thursday, October 1, 2020. US President-elect John Biden has called on the international community to provide $ 20 billion to Brazil in exchange for stopping the deforestation of the Amazon or facing economic sanctions.
Bolsonaro posted on Facebook that Joe Biden's remarks in a debate with Donald Trump on Tuesday night were a threat to economic sanctions if Brazil did not accept them. The above proposal. The Brazilian president has categorically refused to accept such bribes or threats.
Bolsonaro reiterated that Brazil was taking steps to curb the deforestation of the Amazon, and considered foreign interest in the Amazon issue as a financial boost and an attempt to undermine Brazil's sovereignty. In the November US election, Biden was running against Donald Trump, and on the issue, Bolsonaro openly praised Trump and also tried to ally with his government by increasing Deepen trade relations between the two countries.
In a heated debate Tuesday, Biden said Brazil was an example of Trump having no experience with foreign policy. "Brazil's forests are being severely deforested, so I will make sure that countries around the world raise $ 20 billion to get Brazil to stop deforestation," Biden said. Otherwise, Brazil will inevitably face economic consequences.
Official data show that Lebanon-sized forests were cut down in the Amazon in 2019, the highest level in 11 years. However, Bolsonaro's right-wing government continues to claim that Brazil is a model of conservation because its forest area remains the same. Bolsonaro once stressed that the world should pay more if they want us to conserve more forests.
