Video: UK's Foreign Secretary Compared to Margaret Thatcher After Tank Tour in Estonia
The UK's Foreign Secretary, Elizabeth Truss, toured Estonia in a tank during her visit. According to TASS, British media have interpreted this move as a manifestation of her leadership ambitions, recalling a similar journey made by Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher during her trip to Germany in 1986.
As noted by various media outlets, the method of proving one's 'leadership ambitions' has become a form of 'plagiarism' for British politicians. In 2017, Boris Johnson, who was also serving as Foreign Secretary at the time, similarly took a tank tour during his visit to Estonia.
