London, Sept 6, GNA – Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II has appointed Madam Liz Truss as Prime Minister during a meeting at her Balmoral Castle in Scotland, a Buckingham Palace statement said.
Madam Truss took over as British Prime Minister on Tuesday, facing one of the most daunting set of challenges for an incoming leader in post-war history led by soaring energy bills, a looming recession and industrial strife.
Madam Truss, the fourth Conservative Prime Minister in six years, flew to the royal family’s Scottish home to be asked by Queen Elizabeth to form a government. She replaces Mr Boris Johnson who was forced out after three tumultuous years in power.
