LONDON — Liz Truss, Britain’s new leader, promised a major package of support this week to help ease the pain from rising energy bills, delivering her first address to the nation as prime minister.
“I will take action this day and every day” to deal with the crises facing Britain, Truss vowed on the steps of a rain-lashed 10 Downing Street on Tuesday, channeling former leader Winston Churchill’s urgent missives to staff.
Truss, who became the U.K.’s fourth premier in just over six years on Tuesday, confirmed she would “take action this week to deal with energy bills,” with an announcement on the support package expected Thursday.
