British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said Tuesday that she is prepared to use nuclear weapons if necessary. "I think it is an important responsibility of the prime minister. I am prepared to do it," she stressed.
The minister's words came during a meeting with members of the Conservative Party in Birmingham. This was her answer to a question about the possibility of using nuclear weapons if there is a threat. After the resignation of Boris Johnson, Truss became the main candidate for leader of the ruling Conservative Party and Prime Minister.
