Billionaire banker gets surprising nomination for top UK diplomatic role
A well-known financial sector leader receives unexpected diplomatic nomination from former president Trump. The pick comes after interesting shifts in campaign support during election season
In a recent social-post announcement Donald Trump named investment-banking mogul Warren Stephens as his choice for US Ambassador to Britain. The former president praised the Arkansas-based financier for creating a “wonderful financial services firm“ while showing dedication to community service
The pick brings attention to Stephensʼ complex political-giving history: earlier in the election cycle he backed other GOP candidates; however his stance shifted and he later directed millions through a super-PAC towards Trumps campaign (showing the ever-changing nature of political alliances)
Stephens‚ who leads his familyʼs long-standing investment bank brings significant business experience to the role — his firm manages over $24-billion in assets. The billionaire banker has shown strong ties to conservative causes; making regular contributions to various right-wing political initiatives since early-2000s
I have chosen an exceptional business leader who has built a remarkable enterprise while giving back to his community
