President Biden convened a meeting with his national security team Monday morning in the White House Situation Room to address the recent attack on US service members in northeastern Jordan, near the Syria border.
The meeting follows Biden’s pledge on Sunday that the United States “shall respond” to the attack.
“We had a tough day last night in the Middle East. We lost three brave souls in an attack on one of our bases,” Biden said.
Attendees included National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III, Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines, Chief of Staff Jeff Zients, Principal Deputy National Security Advisor Jon Finer, Homeland Security Advisor Dr. Liz Sherwood Randall, and NSC Coordinator for the Middle East Brett McGurk.
