From left to right: Russell Vought, Director, Office of Management and Budget (OMB); US Secretary of Education-designate Linda E. McMahon; US Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr; US Secretary of the Interior and Chair, National Energy Council and White House Energy Czar Doug Burgum; US President Donald J Trump; US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth; US Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick; and US Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy during a cabinet meeting at the White House in Washington, DC, US, on Wednesday, February 26, 2025.
