President Donald Trump invoked the War of 1812 in a testy phone call with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, CNN reported. According to the report, when Trudeau asked Trump how he could justify tariffs as a national security issue, the president replied, "Didn't you guys burn down the White House?" It was the Brits who burned down the White House in 1814, though it was in retaliation for the American attack on York, Ontario, then a British colony.
