Finnish president startled by Trump's lying.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...at-news-a-duck

Trump says Finland is buying Boeing fighter jets. The Finnish president called that news a ‘duck.‘

Finnish president Sauli Niinisto appeared startled and immediately looked in Trump’s direction upon hearing the comments. Niinisto later pushed back against the comments in a tweet Monday that translates to “the news of the purchase of the F-18 fighter planes is a duck.” He used a Finnish word “ankka” commonly used to describe a falsehood, similar to “canard” in English, or maybe fake news in the U.S. vernacular.
