Liz Truss: Everything To Know About The Foreign Secretary In Boris Johnson’s Cabinet

Liz Truss emerged foreign secretary Wednesday, September 15 as Prime Minister Boris Johnson launched a reshuffle of his ministerial team.

Unlike her home country, where she’s being hailed as a successful trade minister, EU diplomats are casting a cautious eye over the appointment, after dealing with the combative Raab for so long. Several reports have claimed they were not convinced Truss would “embrace a different narrative” than her predecessor – Dominic Raab.

The former international trade secretary is famed for her libertarian views on economics and trade, and her fight against so-called “woke” culture in Britain. Her promotion will land well with Conservative party members and Johnson will hope she can harness her reputation for optimism to project a positive vision of “Global Britain” on the world stage.

Elizabeth Mary Truss is a British politician, born July 26, 1975, in Oxford, United Kingdom she has served as Member of Parliament for South West Norfolk since 2010 under the auspices of the Conservative Party.

Mary Truss is married to Hugh O’Leary, since 2000.
