Ex-UK PM Liz Truss endorses Donald Trump amid hush money trial: ‘I don’t think Biden…’
Hindustan TimesWhile Donald Trump arrived in the New York criminal court for his hush money trial, former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss declared that it "has to be" the former president in the White House following the November presidential elections. On being asked if it should be Trump in the White House, Truss said: “It has to be.” Since departing 10 Downing Street in 2022, Truss, the shortest-serving PM in UK history, has been a strong supporter of American conservative politics. She went on to say that Trump “was more effective at preventing aggressive regimes expanding, and I think we’d be in a different position if he got reelected in 2020.” Truss hopes to see a Republican in White House Notably, Truss had never before publicly endorsed Trump by name. She further called for conservative leadership in the United States, which is "bold enough to call out hostile regimes as evil and a threat.” In a speech at the U.S. Conservative Political Action Conference, she asserted that Republicans running for office “are more pro-Britain than the Democrats” and demanded the election of candidates “who aren’t going to cave into the establishment.” During Truss' tenure as prime minister, Trump once declared in an interview with GB News that he thinks "very highly" of her.
