The capture of a British fishing boat has heightened tensions between the United Kingdom and France. The fishing vessel was seized by French officials on Thursday, local time. In response, the United Kingdom summoned France's ambassador. They chastised France's government for issuing "unjust" threats. This information was obtained from a BBC report in the United Kingdom. The event is being interpreted as part of the two countries' fight over the right to fish in post-Brexit seas.
