BIARRITZ, France - Britain joined Germany on Saturday in criticising French President Emmanuel Macron’s decision to block a trade deal between the European Union and the Mercosur group of southern American countries to pressure Brazil on Amazon forest fires.
After landing in the seaside French resort of Biarritz, where Macron is hosting a summit of G7 countries, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson criticised the decision, a day after German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s office did the same in Berlin. “The non-conclusion of the Mercosur agreement would not help to reduce forest destruction in Brazil,” the spokesman added.
Macron’s office said on Friday Bolsonaro’s decisions in the last few weeks showed he had decided not to respect climate commitments he made to France at the last G20 summit in Osaka, Japan. “The president can only conclude that President Bolsonaro lied to him during the Osaka summit,” the Elysee added.
