(CNN)Brazil's President Jair Bolsonaro has slammed US presidential candidate Joe Biden for his remarks about the Amazon rainforest during Tuesday's presidential debate, saying it was "difficult to understand such a disastrous and unnecessary declaration."
Bolsonaro, an ally of President Donald Trump, tweeted on Wednesday saying Biden "stated yesterday that he could pay us as much as US$20 billion to stop the 'destruction' of the Amazon Rainforest adding that, if we did not accept this offer, he would then impose serious economic sanctions on our country."
Bolsonaro wrote that he "unlike the left-wing presidents of the past, does not accept bribes, criminal land demarcations or coward threats toward our territorial and economic integrity," adding that Brazil's sovereignty was non-negotiable.
During the climate section of the debate, Biden said the "rainforests of Brazil are being torn down, are being ripped down." He then went on to say that he would be "gathering up and making sure we had the countries of the world coming up with $20 billion to say 'here's $20 billion, stop tearing down the forest and if you don't, you are going to have significant economic consequences.'"

1. The Brazilian Trump can go straight to Hell.

The people of Brazil will want someone reasonable in power. Biden can marshal the rest of the world to cut Brazil a deal that helps their people and the planet. Bolsonaro and his ilk can take a hike. They're the past.

2. But of course he would reject this,

he rejected France's offer from the G7 last year of 22 million,

His statement at the time was, " What do they want with Brazil?" this Bolsonaro ass is an El Trumpo bromance pining version of Love Story.
