And immediately issued a threat: If Paris does not give in in the dispute over fishing rights, London will take legal action on the basis of the Brexit agreement. In any case, the message from Truss to the French government was clear: “Stop threatening British fishing boats. Stop threatening the canal ports. And accept that we are fully entitled to issue fishing licenses in accordance with the trade agreement. “
