Trump Jokingly Blames Canada for Burning of the White House

In this article, it discusses how President Trump, in a recent call with Justin Trudeau joked that it was Canada who burned the White House during the war of 1812. The purpose of the phone call was to discuss the latest tariffs imposed on Canada, Trump's reasoning being national security. It later talks about what really happened with the burning from the war caused by British troops. Trudeau stated that while it was intended to be a joke, he did not think it was funny and felt the situation was not a laughing matter as the tariffs will significantly effect Canadian citizens.
