The French President Emmanuel Macron has mocked the United Kingdom post-Brexit describing Great Britain as a “little country on the world scale”.
Mr Macron has threatened to VETO a trade deal between the UK and EU over fishing rights and regulation, this comes amid mounting pressure from French fisherman in the North of the country.
Mr Macron said: “We know the terms, and I’m consistent, so no, I don’t want to have my cake and eat it but I do want the pieces cut equally because I’m not giving my piece away.”
Five days before the UK voted to leave the EU, Mr Macron mocked the prospect of the UK leaving the EU.
He said: “If I was British, I would vote resolutely remain because it’s in the UK’s interest.
“Leaving the EU would mean the ‘Guernseyfication’ of the UK, which would then be a little country on the world scale.
“It would isolate itself and become a trading post and arbitration place at Europe’s border.”
The then French Economy Minister had said he felt the 2016 referendum was “dangerous” and that Britain had “taken the rest of the European Union hostage”.
