==Prime Minister of the United Kingdom==
Having won election as Leader of the Conservative Party on September 5, 2022, Truss was received the following day by Queen Elizabeth II, who duly appointed her as Britain's new Prime Minister. The meeting occurred at Balmoral Castle in [[Scotland]], making Truss the first prime minister during Elizabeth's reign not to be appointed at [[Buckingham Palace]].<ref>https://www.cnn.com/2022/08/31/uk/queen-elizabeth-prime-minister-balmoral-intl-gbr/index.html</ref>
In her first address from 10 Downing Street on the evening of September 6, Truss, praising the legacy and achievements of her predecessor Boris Johnson, pledged "high-paying jobs [and] safe streets" for the British people. She identified her primary policies as tax-cutting, infrastructure-building, reform to the nationalized health-care system, and finding a solution to the nation's energy crisis (which she blamed on [[Vladimir Putin]]).<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hR6Mkkp1Jro Sky News Live]. 6 September 2022.</ref>
