What can we expect from Liz Truss on foreign policy?

Some of Liz Truss's forays into foreign affairs and international business have been met with hilarity and have been touted as examples of her laughable lack of international knowledge and seriousness about geopolitics.

There was a time when she told Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov that Britain would never accept Moscow's control over the Rostov and Voronezh regions, both in Russia, apparently confusing them with Donetsk and Luhansk in occupied Ukraine.

Then there was an impassioned diatribe on the cheese deficit and world trade, exposing Britain's weakness for European varieties – edam, camembert and pecorino – and declaring “It . East. A shame". She also lamented a pork imbalance in the same speech at a Conservative Party conference.
