How did the Berlin and milan decrees and the orders in council interfered with American neutrality?

The Berlin and Milan Decrees, issued by Napoleon, declared that any neutral ship that traded with Britain could be seized, while the British Orders in Council mandated that neutral nations must obtain a license before trading with France and its allies. These measures directly challenged American neutrality by limiting its ability to trade freely with both European powers. As a result, American ships faced the risk of seizure, leading to heightened tensions and contributing to the War of 1812. Ultimately, both sets of decrees forced the U.S. into a precarious position, undermining its sovereignty and economic interests.
