President-elect Trump has selected businessman and philanthropist Warren A. Stephens to be the U.S. ambassador to the Court of St. James, which essentially means he will be the country’s representative to the U.K.
“Over the past 38 years, Warren has led his company, Stephens Inc., as president, chairman, and CEO, building a successful financial services firm while also contributing generously to his community as a philanthropist,” Trump announced on Truth Social. “Warren has always aspired to serve the United States full-time, and I am delighted that he now has the opportunity to do so as the top Diplomat, representing the U.S.A. to one of America’s closest and most beloved Allies.”
Trump then extended his congratulations to Warren Stephens, his wife Harriet, their three children – Miles, John, and Laura, and their six grandchildren.
This announcement comes as Trump continues to fill various positions in his administration.
