White House press secretary Sean Spicer tweeted a photo on Friday showing the moment President Donald Trump and his team huddled at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida to decide on firing dozens of missiles at a Syrian military air base.
The US launched the missiles as a response to a chemical attack allegedly carried out by the regime of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad earlier this week that killed at least 80 people.
The photo includes Trump's closest advisors and core members of his economic team. At the table (from left to right):

- Steven Mnuchin, Treasury Secretary
- Wilbur Ross, Commerce Secretary
