President Emmanuel Macron has made a rare visit to Saint Pierre and Miquelon, a remote French territory in the North Atlantic, where he hosted Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. This marks the first visit by a French president to the territory in over a decade and the first visit by a Canadian prime minister to Saint Pierre and Miquelon. The three-day visit took place amid growing tensions between France and the United States. According to France24, the event is symbolic, reflecting a shift in Canada's foreign policy toward Europe. The visit also occurs as European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen proposed making Canada the EU's first associate member. Saint Pierre and Miquelon, a French territory off the coast of Newfoundland, has a population of less than 6,000 people.
