The Foreign Secretary was left struggling for a response when questioned over UK support for Taiwan
In an interview with Nick Ferrari at Breakfast today, Liz Truss was "less than conclusive" with her answer over support for the nation.
"So-called deterrents by denial - and that is a similar approach to the approach we need to take for other sovereign nations including Taiwan.""Ms Truss stumbled for a response, saying: “The.. the.. the defence that Taiwan need is already being provided through commercial providers by a variety of nations throughout the world.
"I think it’s the fact that he has this ambition for a greater Russia that he’s talked about for decades."Not enough was done after the Cold War to hold the Soviet Union to account for the crimes that had been committed and we allowed this situation to fester.Ms Truss said Ukraine winning the conflict was "crucial" for the security of Europe
Defence Secretary Ben Wallace told LBC Radio yesterday: "Well I certainly think President Putin's view of himself and the world is a small man syndrome, macho view.""I think he's certainly got it in spades," he said.
