French President Emmanuel Macron has accused Britain of playing with his country’s nerves in a dispute over post-Brexit fishing licenses.

Paris and London have not been on the best of terms since the AUKUS pact was reached in September. But the fishing row is just one of the fallouts from Brexit.

The UK says it could order the boarding of more French vessels in retaliation for the seizure of a British boat in French territorial waters, as a post-Brexit fishing dispute deepens between the two sides.

France has warned the UK over its failure to provide sufficient fishing licenses to French fishers, calling for the EU to adopt a tougher stance against the UK and raising the alarm that bilateral cooperation could be at risk.
