Who are the "us" in Gen.1.26; And God said let us make man in our image and likeness.....?

Is this the Trinity, and if it is how do we know? I have read that the Jewish interpretation is that God is talking to angels, or Michel Heiser says it's the divine counsel. Is there any way to figure this out? And JW's have manuscripts where the word for God isn't there. While Latter Day Saints say it was multiple gods that are meant because the word *elohim* is a plural noun translated gods?
