Joe Biden arrived in Manaus at around 1:30 pm (Brasília time). His first appointment in the capital of Amazonas was a helicopter flight over the Meeting of the Waters of the Negro and Solimões Rivers, the Adolpho Ducke Forest Reserve and the Amazon Museum (MUSA), where he continued after the tour, which ended at 2:42 pm.
The president arrived at MUSA at 3:20 pm accompanied by Camila Ribas, a researcher from the National Institute of Amazonian Research (INPA), and Peter Fernandez, the CEO of Mombak, a company that trades carbon credits. Bidez took a trail through a stretch of native vegetation inside the museum and met with indigenous leaders from the Kokama, Xerente, and Wapichana peoples, who were waiting for him at the foot of a Sumaúma tree - the largest species of tree found in the Amazon, which can reach 50 meters in height and live for around 120 years.
There, the president announced the contribution of US$50 million to the Amazon Fund, the creation of a coalition that should mobilize US$10 billion by 2030 to restore and protect 20,000 square miles of land, and also reinforced that he leaves a 'strong legacy' for Donald Trump, who takes office as US president in 2025.
After the trip to Manaus, the president went to Rio de Janeiro, where he will participate in the G20 Leaders' Summit. At the event, Biden is expected to reinforce the role of the United States in encouraging sustainable economic growth.
