Macron Visits Remote French Territory, A First in Over a Decade The visit of President Emmanuel Macron to Saint Pierre and Miquelon, a tiny French territory off Newfoundland, has sparked curiosity about France's lingering presence in North America.
Macron's three day trip, which includes a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau (not Mark Carney), marks a return to diplomatic form for France in North America.
The last time a French president set foot on this archipelago was 2011, and the gesture comes at an interesting moment in Franco American relations.
