Finland's president isn't sure where President Donald Trump got the idea that raking is part of his country's routine for managing its substantial forests. Trump told reporters Saturday while visiting the ruins of the Northern California town where a fire killed at least 76 people that wildfires weren't a problem in Finland because crews 'spend a lot of time on raking and cleaning and doing things' to clear forest floors. Finnish President Sauli Niinisto (far right) said in an interview published Sunday in the Ilta-Sanomat newspaper that he spoke briefly with Trump about forest management on November 11, when they both were in Paris for Armistice Day events. Niinisto said their conversation focused on the California wildfires and the surveillance system Finland uses to monitor forests for fires. He said he told Trump that 'we take care of our forests,' but couldn't recall raking coming up.
