President of Finland denies telling Trump the country rakes its forests to prevent fires

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/finland-president-sauli-niinisto-denies-telling-donald-trump-the-country-rakes-forests/?fbclid=IwAR0NJhnZljIHSLnu0113tCci3cU2_OYu0ST92MyfPBDujU68By_8hgjgxlM

While touring a town ravaged by the Northern California Camp Fire on Saturday, President Trump said Finland's president claimed the country doesn't have many problems with forest fires because it spends "a lot of time on raking." Finland's President Sauli Niinistö said the topic of raking never came up in their conversation.

I doubt that person even exists either, let alone told him what he claimed.

A lot of people , some of the best people , are saying how my golf courses look so pristine and not catching fire. You know I won the electoral college by the largest margin ever and I did that by having them raked daily by HB1 visa holders from my resorts.
