Trump appoints billionaire banker as UK ambassador
The Independent
|December 03, 2024
Donald Trump has named billionaire investment banker Warren Stephens as his ambassador to the UK.
In a message on his Truth Social platform, the president-elect described the banker as "one of the most successful businessmen in the country" before describing the UK as among its "most cherished and beloved Allies".
Mr Stephens, 67, is a Republican donor who previously campaigned against Mr Trump, before financially backing him at this year’s election.
It is a prestigious posting for the Republican donor who has no experience in government but whose contributions this year included $2m (£1.6m) to a Trump-backing super PAC (political action committee) donations vehicle.
