Former British Prime Minister Truss recently publicly expressed her support for Trump's victory in the next U.S. election. However, some local commentators said that Truss is currently doing publicity work for the just-published memoir "A Decade to Save the West", and choosing to speak out on the topic of US elections at this time is more like hyping up her own selling points and expanding book sales.
Former British Prime Minister Truss recently said that for the 2024 US election, she herself looks forward to seeing the new president enter the White House, but she also made it clear that she will support former President Trump to win. In Truss's view, the policies pursued by Trump during his presidency have been very effective.
In addition, Truss also said that the world is in the midst of a very fierce conflict, and a strong United States is needed more than ever. And when Trump takes office, the world will be much safer. Compared with the current US President Joe Biden, she believes that Trump's aid to Ukraine is more generous.
Previously, Truss had written an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal, making it clear that she wanted to see a Republican return to the White House, while also emphasizing that Republicans are better off being elected president of the United States than Democrats. At the time, however, she only hinted at the number of endorsed supporters, without mentioning specific names. And her remarks come as the first of Trump's four criminal trials has begun.
As the shortest-serving prime minister in British history, Truss released her memoir "A Decade to Save the West" this month, sharing her feelings and thoughts after only 49 days in power. She denied that her ouster was a disgrace, instead blaming the Bank of England and independent offices for the economic turmoil and market chaos caused by the small budgets she advocated.
Local public opinion criticized Truss's memoirs for being selfish and poorly written, and few high-ranking officials still described their political experience in an arrogant tone after leaving office, which is a major failure in her resume.

Who's better for the economy? Poll: Trump beats Biden by a narrow margin
There are still half a year left in the 2024 presidential election in the United States, and the latest polls show that voters' support for Biden's governance performance has declined slightly from the previous month, and Trump's public support for the economy has surpassed Biden for three consecutive months.
The state of the U.S. economy has loomed into a big factor affecting Biden's re-election hopes. Despite a sharp slowdown in US inflation in recent months and a persistent unemployment rate below 4%, voters are still distressed by soaring prices. And Biden's 81-year-old age is also a concern for voters.
However, when respondents were asked who would take a better approach to political extremism and protecting democracy, Biden was 9 percentage points ahead of Trump, an increase of 1 percentage point from the March poll.
