France's semi-autonomous territory, near Newfoundland, Canada, is concerned by Trump's repeated threats towards #Greenland. Is our sovereignty also at risk?

Inquiets des menaces de Donald Trump sur le Groenland, des élus de Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon appellent le gouvernement français à la "vigilance"
Alors que la convoitise de Washington sur le Groenland se fait de plus en plus pressante, les élus de l'archipel français dans le golfe du Saint-Laurent craignent pour leur souveraineté.

Who is Senator Henry Cabot Lodge you ask? He's the notorious US Senator who wished America would acquire the French islands of Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon.

I'm extremely thankful he never succeeded.

I don't usually read the London Gazette, but when I do, it's with a cup of Earl Grey and some biscuits.

A few pictures of Ile aux Marins, a ghost island near the harbour of Saint-Pierre, Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon. The island was formally known as Ile aux Chiens in the 18th and 19th centurues, and Isle aux Grouesilles in the 17th century.

It's been over 1 110 days since ELMO bought the other place, ruined the platform, destroyed the ecosystem, removed legitimate verification badges, skewed the algorithm to shut down dissent, and muzzled any criticism of his actions.

Today, I could clearly see a mountain in Canada, peak altitude 226 m, from over 62 km away, in Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon (France).

Sigh. Probably. Stupid, in charge, and out of control. Apparently St. Pierre and Miquelon is on the sh*t list because they don’t import anything from the US and export shellfish. Because when you are an idiot and don’t understand that “trade imbalances” by themselves don’t mean anything…

Trump Tariffs against Saint Pierre and Miquelon? Yes, we think we figured out why ...

It's payback for selling booze at premium prices during Prohibition! 😂🤣

james surowiecki has discovered where the completely fabricated trump tariff rate has come from for each country

"...for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us."
Just figured out where these fake tariff rates come from. They didn't actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us. So we have a $17.9 billion trade deficit with Indonesia. Its exports to us are $28 billion. $17.9/$28 = 64%, which Trump claims is the tariff rate Indonesia charges us. What extraordinary nonsense this is.

Trump Tariffs : they used the ISO 3166-1 list of 249 countries and associated territories— not the list of 193 independent countries recognized by the UN. According to an American journalist, they simply took their trade deficit with each territory and divided it by that territory's exports to them.
