UK-France fishing row
A dispute between the UK and France over post-Brexit fishing rights is dragging on. London has now rejected Paris’ claims that they have agreed to defuse the row. The British government says it is up to France to make the first move. London also urged Paris to step away from threatening to block French ports to British vessels. France is angered by a decision from Britain last month to deny fishing licenses to dozens of French boats. Paris has said the move was in breach of the Brexit deal. Tensions between the two European nations escalated Wednesday. That’s when France detained a British trawler and fined another in French waters. Paris also promised more retaliatory measures.
