"After spending time and resources crisscrossing the Atlantic to cultivate the support of the Maga faithful, Liz Truss has finally got the prize she apparently craved: a photo with Donald Trump. Britain's shortest serving prime minister tweeted a photo on Sunday showing her in the company of the US president at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida. Right about everything, Truss posted, tagging the president on X."
"Trump had yet to record the meeting on his own social media feeds, focusing instead on promoting the new documentary made by his wife, Melania. It's unclear how long the meeting between Truss and Trump lasted and how it was initiated. Truss, who has increasingly adopted extreme positions to the right of the Conservative party she once led since she left office, and has attempted to re-launch herself as a podcaster,"
"has made addresses in each of the last two years at the flagship annual conference of the US right. She told the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Maryland last year that her country was failing, as she appeared alongside rightwing populists from around the world planning deeper ties and cooperation. An increasingly marginal figure in British politics, who was prime minister for only 49 days and lost her seat in 2024's general election, Truss has sought to secure a safe harbour at CPAC,"
Liz Truss visited Mar-a-Lago and posted a photo with Donald Trump, tagging him on X while Trump had not posted about the meeting. The timing and initiation of the meeting are unclear. Truss has shifted further right since leaving office and has tried to relaunch as a podcaster. She has addressed CPAC in consecutive years and aligned with rightwing populists seeking deeper cooperation. Truss served as prime minister for 49 days and lost her seat in the 2024 general election. She is launching a private club called The Leconfield, seeking 500,000 from founding members with partner Robert Tchenguiz, and has been accused of poaching members at 5 Hertford Street.
