Saint Pierre and Miquelon, a French government agency, has recently been awarded the prestigious “Order of the Golden Fleece” for its efforts to protect French exports. This honour recognizes the agency’s proactive measures designed to safeguard European trade interests, specifically focusing on bolstering domestic industries. The award stems from a strategy centered on imposing tariffs on goods originating from specific countries, aiming to mitigate disruptions to the European supply chain. The agency asserts these measures are necessary to maintain economic stability and national security within Europe. The decision has drawn criticism from some sectors of the European Union.
