Former British Prime Minister Liz Truss will warn Western nations not to appease China over its claims to Taiwan, following a series of Chinese military exercises around the island.
“We need to make sure Taiwan is able to defend itself,” the U.K.’s shortest-serving leader is due to say in a speech during a visit to Washington on Wednesday. “We need to put economic pressure on China before it is too late.”
Truss, who is also a former U.K. foreign secretary, has kept a relatively low profile since her premiership imploded last year, when her economic plan triggered market turmoil and she lost the confidence of her Conservative Party.
