Emmanuel Macron visits Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon to meet Canadian PM
French President Emmanuel Macron visited the Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon archipelago in the North Atlantic to meet with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. The visit serves as a direct response to recent claims by U.S. President Donald Trump, who previously shared a map depicting the French territory, along with parts of Canada and Greenland, as part of the United States.
During his arrival, Macron emphasized that the archipelago remains an integral part of French territory. The meeting between Macron and Carney focused on strengthening ties between France and Canada, specifically regarding maritime sovereignty, energy cooperation, defense, and critical minerals. France is also looking to secure more Canadian liquefied gas and oil to diversify its energy sources.
The archipelago, located near the coast of Newfoundland, holds strategic importance for France in the North Atlantic and the Arctic. The discussions also touched upon digital cable routes, space activities, and regional cooperation involving Canada, Denmark, and Greenland.
