Emmanuel Macron has warned Boris Johnson he will not allow French fishermen to be “sacrificed” for the sake of a post-Brexit trade deal between Britain and the EU.

Arriving for an EU summit in Brussels, the French president warned he was prepared to see talks with the UK collapse if the “right terms” cannot be agreed.
