Trump praised Stephens, a businessman and philanthropist, highlighting his impressive career and commitment to his community.
In a message on Truth Social, Trump stated, “Over the last 38 years, Warren has led his company, Stephens Inc., with distinction while also giving back as a philanthropist. He has always dreamed of serving our great nation full-time, and I am excited for him to take on this important role as our top diplomat to one of our closest allies.”
