ROME/LE HAVRE, France (Reuters) -French President Emmanuel Macron on Friday escalated a post-Brexit row raging between Paris and London when he questioned Britain's "credibility" and accused it of wanting to change parts of a treaty signed just last year over fishing rights and other topics.

Speaking to the Financial Times, Macron said other nations were watching closely as Britain clashed with France and the broader European Union following its departure from the bloc.
