G7 NATIONS CLOSE TO AGREEMENT ON TACKLING AMAZON FIRES

French President Emmanuel Macron said on Sunday the leaders of the world’s major industrialized nations were close to an agreement on how to help fight the Amazon forest fires and try to repair the devastation. “There’s a real convergence to say: ‘let’s all agree to help those countries hit by these fires’,” he told reporters Saturday. He said the G7 countries comprising the United States, Japan, Germany, France, Italy, Britain and Canada, were finalizing a possible deal on “technical and financial help”. (Reuters)
