President Donald Trump received a transatlantic smackdown after bizarre statements he made while touring the devastation of the Camp Fire in Paradise, California.

He called it a forest nation, and they spent a lot of time on raking and cleaning and doing things. And they dont have any problem.
President Sauli Niinistö of Finland denied the conversation.
I mentioned [to] him that Finland is a land covered by forests and we also have a good monitoring system and network, Niinistö said.
