Truss Advocates for Reforms in the UK

Former British Prime Minister Elizabeth Truss has advocated for significant reforms in the UK, suggesting the need for a 'British Trump' to instigate change akin to the MAGA movement in the US. During the HT Leadership Summit 2024 in India, she highlighted India's pivotal role as the world's largest democracy and the opportunities for a strong UK-India relationship, particularly in technology, defense, and agriculture. Truss emphasized the necessity of a free-trade agreement between the two nations, noting it as a relationship of equals that requires concessions from both sides. Critically, she pointed out the need to address bureaucratic inefficiencies in the UK that hinder economic progress and trade negotiations. Furthermore, she expressed optimism about India's leadership in the Quad alliance amid rising geopolitical tensions, especially concerning China. Truss's remarks come as she reflects on her short tenure as Prime Minister and the lessons learned from her economic policies.
