Trump nominates banker Warren Stephens as UK ambassador
President-elect Donald Trump has nominated businessman Warren Stephens to serve as America’s ambassador to the United Kingdom.
“Warren has always dreamed of serving the United States full time,” Trump said in a statement on Truth Social. “I am thrilled that he will now have that opportunity as the top diplomat, representing the USA to one of America’s most cherished and beloved allies.”
Stephens, who is CEO of private investment bank Stephens Inc, donated millions to Trump’s re-election campaign this year.
If his nomination is successful, Stephens will help to maintain the so-called “special relationship” between the US and the UK.
