The UK's newly appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer Jeremy Hunt admitted that 'tax cuts were a mistake'. He also signaled an increase in taxes in the coming days. The Chancellor's statement signals another policy U-turn by Prime Minister Liz Truss.

UK: Government brings forward fiscal measures after budget turmoil

US President Joe Biden on Saturday (October 15) said that UK Prime Minister Liz Truss' original economic plan was a 'mistake'. He was speaking with reporters in Oregon as he helped campaign for Tina Kotek, who is running for Governor of Oregon.&nbsp;

"I wasn't the only one that thought it was a mistake," he said. 
 
He also stated that the fiscal policies of other nations&nbsp;may hurt the US amid worldwide inflation.&nbsp;"So, the problem is the lack of economic growth and sound policy in other countries, not so much ours," Biden added.

Truss' original economic plan not only caused steep dive in the value of British Pound against dollar, but the political upheaval it triggered has caused Truss to lose her footing just weeks in the office. She fired her finance minister and it is widely being perceived that there is a danger of her being forced to step down. There have been dissenting voices from her own Conservative Party.

The White House has refrained from commenting on Truss' problems and when asked about the strength of the US&nbsp;Dollar, Biden said, "I'm not concerned about the strength of the dollar. I'm concerned about the rest of the world."

Earlier on Saturday, Britain's new finance minister Jeremy Hunt said some taxes would go up and tough spending decisions were needed, saying Prime Minister Liz Truss had made 'mistakes' as she battles to keep her job just over a month into her term.

During his interaction with reporters, Biden also spoke about the January 6 committee probe. The probe panel has voted to subpoena former US president Donald Trump in relation to Capitol Hill attack that took place on January 6, 2021.

"I think the testimony and the video are actually devastating and I've been going out of my way not to comment," Biden said.

Biden says he would not comment further on the Jan. 6 committee because he did not want to be perceived as influencing the attorney general, which he said he was not.

Liz Truss attended first house of commons session as UK Prime Minister. In her first PMQs showdown, Liz Truss has promised action on energy bills within first week. Truss said, UK is facing this energy crisis because of Putin.

UK: PM Liz Truss expected to freeze energy bills, cap to be funded by taxation revenues

In response to questions from lawmakers on Wednesday, the new British Prime Minister Liz Truss&nbsp;said she would not impose a windfall tax to pay for any energy bill freeze intended to counteract sharp increases in the prices of gas and electricity.&nbsp;

Truss, who officially took over from Boris Johnson on Tuesday, stated that she would lay out her proposals for an economic support package on Thursday in order to prevent a crisis from worsening over the coming months.&nbsp;

She is apparently contemplating measures worth up to £130 billion ($150 billion) to freeze energy costs for struggling homes and businesses, many of which run the risk of going bankrupt this winter.

But when opposition Labour Party leader Keir Starmer questioned whether this would be paid for by a windfall tax on the earnings of energy corporations, Truss replied, "I am against a windfall tax."&nbsp;&nbsp;

"I believe it is the wrong thing to be putting companies off investing in the United Kingdom, just when we need to be growing the economy."

"This country will not be able to tax its way to growth," she continued.&nbsp;

With inflation already in double digits and at 40-year highs, the exchange set the tone for the discussion on how to deal with the anticipated economic hardship in the future.

Truss ran for office on a platform of tax cuts, despite concerns that they might increase inflation and uncertainties over how to pay for them.&nbsp;

As Truss entered Downing Street on Tuesday for the first time as PM, she was optimistic about the future of the economy.&nbsp;

I have faith that we can weather this storm together, she remarked.&nbsp;

However, Starmer claimed that common people would have to pay for her policies.

Queen Elizabeth II will receive the new UK prime minister at her Scottish Balmoral retreat instead of Buckingham Palace next Tuesday due to ongoing "mobility issues", the palace said Wednesday.

It will be the first so-called "kissing of the hands" ceremony to take place away from central London since Winston Churchill met the queen at Heathrow Airport in 1952 after she came to the throne.

The 96-year-old monarch will also first receive outgoing Prime Minister Boris Johnson at the remote estate in northeast Scotland as he tenders his resignation.

Traditionally, the new prime minister arrives soon afterwards and the queen, as head of state, asks them to form a government.

Foreign secretary Liz Truss is favourite to win the nomination from Conservative Party members, after Johnson announced in July he would quit after a series of scandals.

The winner of the contest is due to be announced on Monday.

The queen is on her traditional summer break in the Scottish Highlands, which usually lasts until October.

She was due to return to London to carry out the ceremony.&nbsp;However, she has been dogged by mobility problems since October, when she required an overnight stay in hospital for an unspecified condition.

On medical advice, she has since cut back drastically on her public appearances, and has complained of difficulties standing and walking.

She admitted to being left "exhausted" by a bout of Covid earlier this year, and on the rare occasions she has been seen, has walked with a stick.

At the Chelsea Flower Show, she toured the site in a motorised golf cart.

The queen made two appearances in four days of public celebrations to mark her record-breaking 70 years on the throne in early June.

But even then, the effort forced her to sit out a church service commemorating her reign and a star-studded pop concert outside Buckingham Palace.

She managed though to make a final balcony appearance with her immediate successors —Prince Charles, his son William and grandson George.&nbsp;Her Balmoral trip came after reports that she has had a stairlift installed at the private estate.

Earlier this month, she cancelled her traditional official "Welcome to Balmoral" and instead hosted a small private event.
