The UK’s Foreign Secretary Liz Truss has picked up another major portfolio as the new Brexit minister, months after she took over the Foreign Office.

Truss was given the new job after former Brexit Minister David Frost resigned on Sunday evening, citing disagreements with the government’s stance on lockdown restrictions, taxation, and regulation.
