Macron reacted to the map of trump with the territory of France in the colors of the US flag // Macron: the archipelago of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon is French territory

The archipelago of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon belongs to France, President Emmanuel Macron reminded. So he answered the question of journalists about the geographical map on which the territories were painted in the colors of the US flag. It was published in early September by US President Donald Trump.

Emmanuel Macron called the territorial affiliation of the archipelago obvious. “We won’t repeat it every morning just because people have strange ideas or say strange things,” he told reporters during a visit to the islands.

We are talking about the map, which Donald trump published in his social network Truth Social on September 7. On it, not only the archipelago is painted in the colors of the American flag, but also Canada, Greenland, Mexico, Iceland, the Caribbean, as well as the French Antilles. The French Foreign Ministry said it was not going to comment on the publication in any way.

The archipelago of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon with an area of 242 square kilometers is located near the Canadian island of Newfoundland in the Atlantic Ocean. Under the French constitution, the islands are an overseas community.
