------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, the stocks of the military contractor Raytheon surged
following the missile attack, which used 59 of the company's Tomahawk
missiles, estimated to cost $1.4 million apiece. As stocks surged,
Raytheon added about $1 billion to its market value Friday morning.
According to financial disclosure filings, President Trump personally
invests in Raytheon, meaning he profited directly from the attack.
