Former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss has made headlines by endorsing Donald Trump for the upcoming US presidential election, stating that the world was safer when he was in office. Truss, who recently spoke at a pro-Trump conference in the US, expressed her belief that a strong America is needed now more than ever as the world faces potential conflicts.
Truss, the UK’s shortest-serving prime minister, emphasized that the West’s opponents feared the Trump presidency more than the Democrats under Joe Biden. While she acknowledged that she may not agree with everything Trump has said, she believes that the world was safer during his presidency.
In addition to endorsing Trump, Truss voiced her support for Nigel Farage potentially re-joining the Conservative party and becoming an MP. She highlighted the importance of working with fellow conservatives to combat what she sees as a threat to Western society from left-wing extreme ideas.
Truss also discussed her new book, which delves into her political philosophy and her brief tenure as prime minister. She claimed that powerful establishment figures, including those in the civil service, forced her out of office after just 49 days due to a series of U-turns on her economic plan.
Overall, Truss’s endorsement of Trump and her call for fundamental institutional changes in Britain have sparked debate and raised questions about the future direction of the Conservative party and UK politics as a whole.
