The G7 summit in France got underway this weekend.
World leaders clashed on their stance on issues like trade and climate change.
But when the Amazon wildfires became the topic of discussion, the G7 leaders, including President Trump, offered to help the impacted countries as quickly as possible.
The environmental disaster unfolding in Brazil from the fires in the Amazon is becoming a full-fledged global political crisis.
The line of fire continues to move and expand.
Aerial images show smoke so thick that cameras struggle to capture the devastation.
Environmentalists say the Amazon is a fundamental component for the water system all over the continent.
If the forest is cut off, it will mean some areas of the country won’t get rain for years.
Brazil’s president Jair Bolsonaro announced the deployment of more than 40,000 troops to the Amazon that will help fight the fires.
His decision comes after he repeatedly denied the fires posed a threat to the most bio-diverse eco-region on the planet.
