It is worth mentioning that as tensions in Ukraine intensified,Tras visited Estonia on November 30, warning that Russia would make "strategic mistakes" if it "invades" Ukraine. During this period, she visited the British troops stationed in the local area and took a photo with the British tank . British media such as " Daily Express ", "Daily Mail", " Times " have compared this scene with photos of former British Prime Minister Mrs. Thatcher riding in a tank when she visited West Germany in 1986. According to reports, Tras is now trying to create a political image of "Contemporary Thatcher" for himself through this upcoming speech.
The US Foreign Policy magazine pointed out that at an Conservative Party meeting in October, Tras gave a detailed outline of foreign policy. King's College London Professor of European Political and Foreign Affairs Anand Menon analyzed that from this policy outline, it can be seen that Tras "plans to inherit thatcherism and beat the drum of ideology ". It is widely expected that Tras will make deepening trade ties a core part of his mission to the Foreign Minister, while investing in developing countries to fight back against China's overseas investment.
A source close to Tras said that on the one hand, the UK may seek more security partnerships in the Indo-Pacific region; on the other hand, it will also show strength to Russia to show that the UK's increased focus on the Indo-Pacific does not mean that it will ignore European partners.
