٠٠:٠١:٣٩French President Emmanuel Macron said that his fellow G7 leaders were all in agreement about the need to help fight the fires raging in the Amazon rainforest, while speaking to the media at the G7 summit in Biarritz on Sunday.
"We all agree that we must help as soon as possible all countries affected by those [Amazon] fires," he said, adding that "Contacts have been made by our teams with all Amazonian countries in order to finalise very concrete technical and financial commitments."
Macron also said that Iran was discussed on the first day of the G7 summit and "two main, common points came out of it: Firstly, no G7 member wants Iran to ever have nuclear weapons. Second, all G7 members are deeply attached to peace and stability in the region and do not want to undertake actions that could harm the region."
The French president also dodged a question by a reporter on whether he trusted US President Donald Trump to stick to his word, initially replying simply that "Mr. Trump is president of the United States of America," before commenting about their meeting yesterday.
The G7 summit started in Biarritz on Saturday and runs until August 26, with world leaders set to discuss topics including tackling global inequality, the US-China trade dispute, the Hong Kong protests and the climate crisis.
