While visiting the ruins of the Northern California town where a fire killed at least 76 people, Trump told reporters,

"Wildfires aren't a problem in Finland because crews spend a lot of time on raking and cleaning and doing things to clear forest floors.” - newsweek.com

Trump promised California's Governor, "The federal government will get this cleaned up and take better care raking the floors of the forest."
.

Finnish President Sauli Niinisto said in an interview published Sunday in the Ilta-Sanomat newspaper that he spoke briefly with Trump about forest management on Nov. 11, when they both were in Paris for Armistice Day events.

Niinisto said, "Our conversation focused on the California wildfires and the surveillance system Finland uses to monitor forests for fires. But I can't recall raking being discussed."

The U.S. leader’s comment generated amusement on social media in Finland, which manages its vast forests with scientific seriousness. Forests cover over 70 percent of Finland’s 338,000 square kilometers.
