Trump says the United States wants to deal with the flames sweeping the world's largest rainforest, but prefers a plan that includes discussions with the Brazilian government.

President Donald Trump's adviser said Wednesday that he is ready and willing to help with Brazilian forest fires only if Brazil cooperates with the Brazilian government.
"The United States is ready to support Brazil in Amazon's fire suppression efforts," said Garrett Marquis, a spokesman said.
But the Trump administration prefers a plan that includes discussions with the Brazilian government, he said.
"We did not agree with the G7 initiative, which did not include consultation with jairbolsonaro. The most constructive way to help Brazil's ongoing efforts is through cooperation with the Brazilian government."
The president of Vol Sonar actively encouraged Amazon fire and refused to help the G7. Trump has just promised full support to Ball Sona.
Trump failed when the planet relied on American leadership.

EU clash with ball sonar
On Monday, the G7 countries of the United Kingdom, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United States pledged $ 20 million to burn the world's largest rainforest, which is important for maintaining a stable global climate.
Volsonaro clashed with European leaders, especially France's President Emmanuel Macron, on Brazil's response to the Amazon crisis.
Volsonaro initially rejected the G7's proposal that Macron would be willing to accept aid only if he withdrew his "insult."
But on Wednesday, South American leaders fired a fresh salvo, accusing France and Germany of “buying” Brazil's sovereignty and questioning whether the country could still accept relief funds.
Trump, who met with Sonaro at the White House in March, tweeted "full and full support" for the Brazilian president Tuesday and praised for the "very tough" work on the Amazon crisis.
"Amazon is the largest and most diverse rainforest in the world with millions of species and billions of trees."

Macron accused Vol Sonarro of lying about his commitment to climate change and vowed to block EU-Merkosur deals involving Brazil, which took decades to negotiate.
