Saint-Pierre-and-Miquelon is a French overseas collectivity near Newfoundland, led by a Prefect and a President of the Territorial Council, with a small population and a mainly fisheries-based economy.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has met French President Emmanuel Macron on Saint-Pierre and Miquelon and has announced plans to deepen economic and security ties with France and the European Union, including backing for a proposal that Canada become the EU's first "associate member." The leaders have discussed energy, critical minerals, defence and technology as Ottawa shifts away from U.S. dependence.
