At a recent Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing, U.S. Senator John Boozman and Tom Cotton introduced fellow Arkansan, Warren Stephens as U.S. Ambassador to the United Kingdom.
Stephens has led Stephens Inc., the financial firm founded by his father and uncle, since 1986. He and his family have established a legacy of civil service and philanthropy through charitable work across central Arkansas.
Senator Boozman says “I have had the privilege of knowing Warren for many years and am confident he will bring his many talents, skills and relationships to bear as our ambassador to the United Kingdom, and I’m thankful to President Trump for choosing him to fill this very crucial diplomatic role. His extensive experience and expertise in the private sector, and dedication to enhancing the relationship between our two nations, will serve him well as he represents America’s interests in this critical post.”
Senator Cotton says “Warren has spent a lifetime building and fostering strong relationships with his family, his clients, and his community. I think he is exactly the person America needs to lead our strong, special relationship with the United Kingdom as our next Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James’s.”
The Foreign Relations Committee will take up his nomination at a future date. If approved, it will advance to the full Senate for consideration.
