France's Macron tells UK's Johnson to respect rules in fishing row

French President Emmanuel Macron told British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Sunday that London should respect international rules in a row over post-Brexit fishing rights, a French presidential adviser said.

"The goal for both the president and the prime minister was to work towards de-escalation," the official told reporters after a private, one-on-one meeting between the two leaders on the sidelines of a G20 summit in Rome.

Macron told Johnson that he expected seriousness and respect between the two men after days of threats and counter-threats over fishing licenses, the presidential adviser said.
