Liz Truss has resigned as the UK prime minister, just 45 days after taking over from her predecessor Boris Johnson, making her the shortest-serving prime minister in the modern British political history. 

In the past four months, the UK has had two prime ministers, four finance ministers, three interior ministers, four education ministers and three health ministers. The country's political and economic turmoil has been watched around the world.

The latest chaos – caused by reaction to Truss's tax-cutting plan, followed by its humiliating withdrawal, the sacking of the finance minister and the resignation of the interior minister this week alone – has been making global headlines.

Here's how the world has reacted following Truss's resignation:

France and Ireland

French President Emmanuel Macron said it was important the UK finds "stability as soon as possible."

Speaking to reporters after Truss's resignation at a European Union summit in Brussels, he said: "We want, above all else, stability. On a personal level, I am always sad to see a colleague go."

Irish premier Micheal Martin echoed the sentiments as he said: "I think stability is very important and we would like to see the UK system within its capacity in a position to have a successor selected as quickly as possible... during these times when a major war is underway on the continent in Europe."

The US

President Joe Biden has thanked Liz Truss for holding Russia "accountable" for its actions in Ukraine.

"The United States and the United Kingdom are strong allies and enduring friends — and that fact will never change. I thank Prime Minister Liz Truss for her partnership on a range of issues including holding Russia accountable for its war against Ukraine," he said.

"We will continue our close cooperation with the UK government as we work together to meet the global challenges our nations face."

It's a tone change from the weekend, when Biden casually criticized the tax-cutting plan that had unleashed such market chaos. 

"I wasn't the only one that thought it was a mistake," he told reporters during a stop at an ice cream shop in Oregon state. "I think that the idea of cutting taxes on the super wealthy at a time when – anyway, I just think I disagreed with the policy, but that's up to Great Britain to make that judgment, not me."

Russia

But Biden's comments weren't the harshest. Upon Truss's resignation, Russia welcomed departure of a prime minister the foreign ministry labeled an illiterate disgrace.

"Britain has never known such a disgrace of a prime minister," Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said, adding that Truss will be remembered for her "catastrophic illiteracy."

Scathing remarks on Truss by world's media

Global media pundits have been brutal in their criticism of Truss ever since she took charge in Westminster just six weeks ago.

The tone in Germany has been far from surprised, as many have linked the UK's latest spectacle to Brexit and its repercussions. 

Several German columnists have expressed shock amid speculations that UK MPs were plotting to replace already beleaguered Liz Truss without a general election, warning that such a "coup" risked turning Britain into a "banana republic."

And now that she has resigned, the German newspaper Bild reported, the "chaos" in UK continues.

Truss crisis 'a joke about Britain'

Media houses around the world have been fascinated by the chaos. 

One of the most-read newspapers in India, The Hindu, called the drama in UK "a cautionary tale for how bad politics can lead to even worse economics."

The newspaper also predicted on Monday that Truss's time in 10 Downing Street "may draw to a close sooner than she expected," which now proves to be a spoiler.

"The outside world does not seem optimistic about the turnaround of the Truss government," state-run news agency China News Service wrote.

China's Global Times, meanwhile, said that Truss's political crisis is a "joke not only about her, but also about today's Britain."

Colombian daily El Colombiano's editorial titled "Liz Truss, The Brief" reflected on how her time in office will be remembered, which now draws parallels to a British newspaper live feed on how a lettuce outlasted her premiership.
