LONDON (AP) — U.K.  Prime Minister Liz Truss has ruled out a windfall tax on oil companies to pay for her plans to tackle the energy crisis. Truss underscored her opposition to the tax during her first session of prime minister’s questions in the House of Commons on Wednesday. Truss earlier met with her Cabinet for the first time. She has appointed a government diverse in race and gender and united in its support for the new leader’s free-market views. None of the U.K.’s “great offices of state”  is held by a white man for the time. Those posts include prime minister, chancellor, foreign secretary and home secretary.
