A source reported clashes between Britain and France and another dispute over fishing after Britain's exit from the European Union on Sunday, and London denied that it changed its position and Paris insisted that it was now up to Britain to resolve a dispute that could eventually hurt trade.
One news agency reported that the two sides had painted different images of a meeting between British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and French President Emmanuel Macron on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Rome.
Johnson stated that Britain's position had not changed, but added that he was "puzzled" to read a speech from Paris to the European Union demanding "that Britain be punished for leaving the European Union," saying that "I do not believe that this is consistent with the spirit or letter of the Agreement on Withdrawal from the Agreement on Trade and Cooperation and perhaps that is all I would say about it," referring to the British exit from the European Union Union.
Macron, during his press releases, said he wanted to reach an agreement, and in Rome he said, "I don't want an escalation. We should be serious. I don't want to have to use retaliatory measures, because that's not going to help our hunters, "adding that Paris has made proposals for London and" the ball is now in the British field. " While London invited Paris to move first.
