The influence of UK PM Liz Truss on International Development

Posted on 06 September 2022

Liz Truss has been confirmed as the new leader of the Tory Party and the new UK PM. As British Foreign Secretary, her political journey has been a ‘tangled’ one, but she is expected to take a hard-line on foreign policy.
