After Six Turbulent Weeks in Office
By Brian Wheeler and Sam Francis
Just 45 days after becoming prime minister, Liz Truss has announced that she will step down from her position.
The decision comes amid widespread economic turmoil in the United Kingdom, which has been exacerbated by Truss's policies.
Truss is the shortest-serving prime minister in British history. Her resignation is likely to trigger a leadership contest within the Conservative Party.
Her departure will leave the United Kingdom in a state of political uncertainty at a time of great economic and social challenges.
