BRASILIA - Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro said on Friday he may have news later in the day on his request to U.S. President Donald Trump for help fighting the Amazon rainforest fires, as the country also fields offers from Chile, Ecuador and Israel.
A White House official confirmed that Araujo and Eduardo Bolsonaro would meet with “senior administration officials” on Friday but gave no further details. Separately, Brazil’s joint military chief Raul Botelho told reporters that the country was in touch with the United States, Chile, Israel and Ecuador regarding their offers to help combat the fires. Brazil will ask for help in the moment when it is necessary, he said.
Earlier this week Bolsonaro said he would not accept an offer of at least $20 million from the Group of Seven to help fight the Amazon fires announced by Macron at a G7 nations leaders’ summit unless Macron withdrew what he called “insults” against him.
