The widespread fires in the Amazon rainforest are causing major worry among European leaders. While it doesn’t seem to be getting much coverage in the United States, it is leading the news on the BBC. In one must-see report on the network (watch above) a correspondent pointed out, “This matters not just for Brazil, but for the entire planet.” Now French President Emmanuel Macron is trying to point out how dire the situation has become.

And the BBC writes that other members of the G7 are concerned as well:

European leaders have also expressed dismay over the fires, with UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson saying he is “deeply concerned” about “the impact of the tragic loss of these precious habitats”.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel has called the fire an “acute emergency… shocking and threatening not only for Brazil and the other affected countries, but also for the whole world”.

Meanwhile, Reuters reports that “Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro on Thursday admitted farmers could be illegally setting the rainforest ablaze but told foreign powers not to interfere.” And that may be exactly what the U.S. president is doing. We can’t find any reaction from Donald Trump or other U.S. officials.
