Britain said on Saturday it has not ruled out invoking a Brexit dispute tool with the EU for the first time, after France threatened trade reprisals in a row over fishing rights. “No of course not, I don’t rule that out,” PM Boris Johnson told Sky News in Rome on the sidelines of a G20 summit, where he is due to hold a brief meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron. “But what I think everybody wants to see is cooperation between the European allies and Emmanuel Macron. And I share a common perspective (with them) which is that climate change is a disaster for humanity and that we have the tools to tackle it,” he said, ahead of the UN COP26 summit that starts in Glasgow on Sunday.
