Brazil reports drop in Amazon deforestation rates, pushing back on US tariff accusations
Brazil has reported a significant decrease in Amazon deforestation, with May’s rate dropping 61.4% compared to last year. Environment Minister João Paulo Capobianco stated this is the lowest May figure ever recorded, aiming for zero deforestation by 2030. These figures challenge recent U.S. tariff justifications, with President Lula asserting the administration’s commitment to environmental protection.
