Sunak Officially Becomes UK Prime Minister
Rishi Sunak has officially become the United Kingdom’s new Prime Minister after meeting with King Charles III at Buckingham Palace.
A BBC story said, “Rishi Sunak has become the new UK prime minister after meeting King Charles at Buckingham Palace.
“In his first speech outside No 10, he says the UK is facing a “profound economic crisis” and that he has been chosen as the new Tory leader to fix some of Liz Truss’s mistakes.
“The prime minister is now starting to put together his cabinet.”
A New York Times story said, “Rishi Sunak officially became Britain’s 57th prime minister on Tuesday, vowing to fix the mistakes made by his predecessor, Liz Truss, and to regain the trust of British voters after months of political upheaval set off by the ouster of her scandal-scarred predecessor, Boris Johnson.
“I will place economic stability and confidence at the heart of this government’s agenda,” a somber Mr. Sunak said in his first address as leader in front of 10 Downing Street. Minutes earlier, he met King Charles III at Buckingham Palace and formally became the country’s fifth prime minister in six years. “That work begins immediately.”
