British Prime Minister Lisa Terrace announced 3 priorities that she will work on during the coming period, in her first speech after officially assuming the position of British Prime Minister after Queen Elizabeth II commissioned her to form a new government, during a meeting at Balmoral Castle in Scotland.
Liz Truss, 47, said these priorities are getting the economy moving, dealing with the energy crisis caused by Russian President Vladimir Putin's war on Ukraine, and strengthening the country's health services.
We face global challenges caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and we will stand united with our allies to defend democracy in the world.
"I have confidence in our ability to weather the storms and rebuild our economy," she said.
She saluted her predecessor, Boris Johnson, and praised his performance during his tenure.
Liz Truss officially became the new head of the British government, after Boris Johnson submitted his resignation, calling for unity behind Truss.
Yesterday evening, Truss was declared the winner of an internal election within the Conservative Party, following an election campaign that began last July, after Johnson was forced to resign due to the abandonment of dozens of his ministers.
The appointments are scheduled to be completed before it hosts the first meeting of the new government and answers questions from parliamentarians on Wednesday.
Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarting is expected to take over as Treasury Secretary, the interior portfolio will be handed over to Attorney General Suila Braverman, while James Cleverly will take over the State Department.
Johnson's last letter
In his last speech as British Prime Minister, Johnson said this morning that it was time to put politics aside and unite behind what he described as the leader, Liz Truss.
And Johnson added - in a speech in front of the government headquarters in Downing Street - that he would support the new Conservative Party leader, Teresa, and the new government that she will form at every step.
He pointed out that this is a difficult time for the economy and for families across the country, but it is possible to overcome it, pointing out that he knows that Terrace and its government will do everything in their power to get everyone out of the energy crisis.
Johnson, 58, is still loved among the conservative base, as an election winner and has high "charisma", especially with his leadership of the country during its exit from the European Union and the Corona epidemic crisis.
