UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said he wants to cut the country’s tax burden, but can only do so once inflation is under control.

“I want to cut your taxes,” Sunak said during a question-and-answer session with members of the press and public in Morecambe, northern England, where he announced a tranche of regional funding on Thursday. “I wish I could do that tomorrow.”
