**Saint Pierre and Miquelon: Few Exports and Heavy Tariffs**
Another territory that raises questions is the French archipelago of Saint Pierre and Miquelon, which is fiscally independent. Along with Lesotho, it is one of the places on which Americans impose the heaviest customs duties 50% despite the territory having minimal exports to the United States. How is that possible?
It appears that the Trump administration’s calculation method was based solely on the 2024 trade balance a figure that does not accurately represent the true nature of trade involving the French territory.
The calculation seems to have been done by taking the American trade deficit with each targeted territory and dividing it by that territory’s exports to the U.S. For the archipelago of Saint Pierre and Miquelon, **2024 was an exceptional year due to a single transaction in July, when someone in the United States purchased $3.4 million worth of goods mostly seafood.**
On the U.S. Census Bureau website, there are archives of more than 30 years of trade with the French archipelago in the North Atlantic. These show a balanced trade relationship over the past ten years at least, with exports of goods to the United States being almost non-existent or very minor.
So while the impact for Saint Pierre and Miquelon is currently minimal or even nonexistent that’s not the case for other regions like the European Union. French President Emmanuel Macron has declared that Donald Trump’s decision is “brutal and unfounded […] and we are determined not to let this stand,” he added.
For the small territory of Saint Pierre and Miquelon, within the context of a potential deepening trade war, the question remains: What would be the future impact on its residents, who rely entirely on imports from Canada and the European Union?

Personally:
Saint-Pierre-et-miquelon is one of the most tariffed territories by trump because of one shipment of seafood. Weirdly enough, other french department (not fiscally independent) like French Guiana, that are part of France proper and the European Union, don’t have the same tariff rate as the rest of the EU but have special one of their own.
Serves them right. They were obviously ripping us off. /s
The tariffs were drawn up by chat GPT
Our guy is a buffoon.
But even worse are his followers. They have the intellect of a 6 year old.
I explained to one guy, so paper towels are made in the US right? Yes…
So that paper runs through 15 machines made in Germany, as they are high quality, low fail rate, tight tolerances, etc.
Those machines wear, and breakdown.
That US plant needs to get parts from Germany. Those parts went from $2500 to $5000. Or whatever.
Your US made paper towels just went up in price, because of a German tariff.
And there’s 1000’s of those examples.
Thank god I can weather the storm that’s coming.
I have no doubt, we are going to have Hoovervilles by years end.
And those same people would vote for the same buffoon, as they sit and wait for the rapture.
How much more convincing does his moron supporters need to finally realize Trump doesn’t know what he’s doing?
