They both had many issues that would directly involve the new nation.
Explanation:
It could be argued that Great Britain and France placed the newly formed United States in the middle of their problems in the late 1700s by arguing over remaining territory, in the sense that the British blatantly ignored many aspects of the Treaty of Paris in terms of boundaries after the American Revolution ended.
Though Britain was not happy that the United States even existed, they wanted them on their side while fighting France. France however, had helped America during the War for Independence, and they believed that America should help them. The Cabinet was divided on this particular issue.
