Trump to swear in his Ambassador to the UK
By Emily Goodin, senior White House correspondent
President Donald Trump will swear in Warren Stephens, a Little Rock investment banker, as his ambassador to the United Kingdom.
Stephens is a longtime Republican donor who gave $2 million to a Trump-backing super PAC during the 2024 election.
‘Warren has always dreamed of serving the United States full time. I am thrilled that he will now have that opportunity as the top Diplomat, representing the U.S.A. to one of America’s most cherished and beloved Allies,’ Trump said when he announced Stephens’ nomination.
Stephens was confirmed by the Senate on Tuesday night and Wednesday’s ceremony will take place in the Oval Office.
The billionaire will be the president’s eyes and ears in London. He’ll also help coordinate Trump’s upcoming state visit to the country, which is expected to take place in September.
He’s no stranger to the UK.
Stephens’ family bank has a footprint in London. And he’s a fan of the Tottenham Hotspurs Premier League soccer team.
