AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoFranco-Canadian diplomacy: French President Emmanuel Macron and Canadian PM Mark Carney will visit Saint-Pierre-and-Miquelon (19–21 Sept) to back national borders after Donald Trump’s North America map appeared to include Canada and several French overseas territories, including Martinique. EU trade & investment: Carney is also reportedly exploring “associate member” status with the EU—an unusual idea—aimed at boosting cooperation in energy, AI, defence and critical minerals as Canada faces a tariff-driven trade fight with the US. EU outermost regions push: Brussels unveiled a new strategy and regulatory package for EU outermost regions, explicitly naming Martinique, to improve competitiveness, resilience, connectivity and access to the single market. Energy transition in the Caribbean: France selected 109 “electrification territories” for pilots to cut gas and oil use; Martinique is included among the recipients. Water security watch: Some areas of Martinique may face no water or low pressure due to work at the Ionics Desalination Plant.
