You would think at a meeting of the leaders of the seven largest IMF-described advanced economies in the world, they could come up with a little more than $22 million.
$22m is actually a significant amount to help put out forest fires. The IMF often gives less than that for much larger initiatives. Nevertheless, they knew Brazil wouldn’t take it. It was symbolic to prove how little Bolsonaro gives a fvck about the environment. Macron is a real chess player, completely body slammed Bolsonaro with this one move.
I don't think it hurt Bolsonaro politically. To his base, it makes him look like he is standing up to the imperialists.
