New British Prime Minister Liz Truss will be giving a speech outside 10 Downing Street on Tuesday.

Truss’s selection as the new leader of Britain’s Conservative Party was announced Monday in London after a leadership election in which only the 180,000 dues-paying members of the Conservative Party were allowed to vote.

Truss beat rival Rishi Sunak, the government’s former Treasury chief, by promising to increase defence spending and cut taxes, while refusing to say how she would address the cost-of-living crisis.

Queen Elizabeth II formally named Truss as Britain’s prime minister on Tuesday at the queen’s Balmoral estate in Scotland, where the monarch is vacationing, rather than at Buckingham Palace.

Truss formerly served as the country's foreign secretary.
