I'm willing to bet Bolsonaro conveniently diverts Brazil's share of that money, then has the corruption trial quashed later.
He's a real piece of work.
According to the BBC, he's turning down the $€£¥₩

Screw you for electing this clown, Brazilians.
Can you shape the charge to spare Chi and NE Oklahoma?
I'm amazed more of TX isn't in the red zone. When I think of tornadoes I think of OK, KS and north TX.
Maybe the Texas heat plus gulf air is the bedroom (back seat of the Chevy in their case) and not the delivery room.

Yes, you can read Brian Mier and Glenn Greenwald's reporting on it. Michael Brooks has talked about it a ton on his podcast as well: (skip to maybe the 3 min mark https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evZ1y7mcmXc )Was it BS?
Almost the entire Brazilian legislature and IIRC the prior three presidents are under indictment. The Brazilians I know (full disclosure, they voted for Bolsanaro) say it's the most corrupt political class on Earth (an Earth that includes Russia) and everybody is a crook.

The Trump Administration is proposing to slash restrictions on the oil and gas industry for methane emissions, a greenhouse gas that is a powerful driver of climate change.
Environmental groups are alarmed. "This would be a huge step backward," said Ben Ratner, a senior director at the Environmental Defense Fund. "It would cause greatly increased pollution and a big missed opportunity to take cost effective immediate action to reduce the rate of warming right now."
The Trump administration argues it would save the oil and gas industry $17 million to $19 million annually in compliance costs. But that's "such a small fraction of the industry total cash flow that it's just laughable," says Harvard University's Steven Wofsy, a professor of atmospheric and environmental science.
The Trump administration also says it does not anticipate an increase in the level of methane emissions if the proposal is implemented — but scientists disagree with that assumption.
Large swathes of New South Wales and southern Queensland will face catastrophic weather events over the next months. The reason is Antarctica's westerly winds which control the Australian climate, are impacted by 'sudden stratospheric warming.'
As a result, the direst prediction is a change in Australia's rainfall patterns. The likely outcome is drought, desertification, mass deaths of livestock, plants, fish and other wildlife, out of control fires and unbearable heat.
