Macron and Carney pledge closer France-Canada ties in Saint-Pierre and Miquelon

theguardian.com — September 21, 2026 at 02:01 AM UTC

French President Emmanuel Macron and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney pledged closer bilateral ties on Sunday during a historic meeting in Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, a French territory off Canada's Atlantic coast, to address geopolitical tensions, climate change, and threats to democratic values. The visit, the first by a French president since 2014 and a Canadian prime minister ever, came weeks after Donald Trump posted an image of the islands and all of North America under a US flag. Ottawa seeks stronger EU relations amid its trade war with Washington, with both leaders agreeing to deepen cooperation in space, climate, and energy. Macron dismissed Trump's post, affirming the territory's French sovereignty, while Paris hopes Canada will boost liquefied natural gas exports to Europe. The EU proposed Canada as its first associate member, which France supports, though ratification hurdles remain, including France's own unratified trade agreement.
