In Britain, the Conservative Party has elected Foreign Secretary Liz Truss to become the United Kingdom’s next prime minister, replacing Boris Johnson, who stepped down following a number of scandals. Truss defeated Finance Minister Rishi Sunak in a party vote on Monday. Truss comes to power as the U.K. is facing an economic crisis with inflation and energy prices soaring.
