    Aug 24 2025
    This week on Face the Nation, the Trump administration builds up the federal presence in the nation's capital to crack down on crime, as the President vows to use similar tactics in other US cities. The number of national guard troops sent to protect Washington continues to grow as President Trump praises his own plan to clean up the city. But as Mr. Trump dismissed district leaders' claim of a 30-year low in violent crime, he's vowing a similar surge in Chicago, New York, and other cities. What could that mean for public safety in your community? We'll check in with Maryland Democratic Governor Wes Moore and New York Republican Congressman Mike Lawler. Then, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell hints at an interest rate cut, but he also cautions that the U.S. economy is facing challenging times. We get a reality check on Powell's speech and state of the economy from economist Mohamed El Erian. Plus, a UN-backed group confirms residents of Gaza City are facing catastrophic conditions of famine and warn that it will soon expand to other areas within the Gaza Strip. New Hampshire Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen is visiting the region and will join us. We talk with UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell as well.

    Aug 17 2025
    This week on Face the Nation, after President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin meet face to face in Alaska, Secretary of State Marco Rubio joins us to describe what went on in the room where it all went down and what could happen next. Questions remain following that three-hour meeting that ended abruptly, as President Trump adopts Putin's roadmap for ending the war in Ukraine--no cease-fire, but negotiations for a lasting peace in the conflict. But what about the other countries, like Ukraine, and its western allies, who are still tightly aligned? We hear from Trump's former National Security Council’s Russia expert Fiona Hill, Alaska Republican Senator Dan Sullivan and Colorado Democrat Jason Crow. Plus, World Central Kitchen Founder José Andrés will join us following his trip to Gaza where a humanitarian crisis persists.

    This week on Face the Nation, President Trump invites Russia’s Vladimir Putin to America, his first visit to U.S. soil in a decade.

We hear from Ukrainian Ambassador Oksana Markarova about what her country needs to agree to a cease-fire. Plus, we ask NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte what a potential deal might mean for European security. Then, Arizona Democratic Senator Mark Kelly and Texas Republican Congressman Tony Gonzales, two lawmakers from border states, tell us how the fresh infusion of cash from Trump's massive domestic policy bill is affecting mass deportation efforts in their states. Finally, the Trump administration says it will slash funding for mRNA vaccine research, an emerging field used in COVID vaccines that also showed promise in treating cancer and HIV. We'll get analysis from Doctor Jerome Adams, who was Surgeon General in Trump's first term.

  • OMB Director Russell Vought, Sen. Chris Van Hollen, Ohio State President Ted Carter
    Jul 27 2025
    This week on Face the Nation, amid a summer of distractions, President Trump seeks ways to divert attention back to his economic agenda. Leaving behind the Epstein files controversy, the president headed to Scotland for a weekend of golf, ahead of trade talks with two key European leaders as his tariff deadline looms. Before he left, he took his fight with Fed Chairman Jerome Powell straight to the Federal Reserve facility itself, where he demanded answers about rising construction costs. But are the accusations of mismanagement, or reluctance to cut interest rates, the real motive behind the president's crusade? We check in with White House budget chief Russell Vought, who was with the president during his trip to the Fed. Plus, we ask whether he's eyeing another round of spending cuts. And get the Democratic response from Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen. Then, Mr. Trump's war against higher education escalates as he asserts authority and influence by threatening to cut millions of dollars in funding. We'll hear from the president of the Ohio State University Ted Carter about its impact. Finally, Israel announces it will allow more foreign aid into Gaza, where the hunger crisis has reached catastrophic levels, when will it stop? We talk with the foreign minister of France, Jean-Noël Barrot, about international pressure to end the conflict.

    This week on Face the Nation, the clock ticks as tariff deadlines loom.

We ask one of the key negotiators, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. Plus, we take a look at the unfolding battle over interest rates with Democratic Congressman Jim Himes, who sits on the House Financial Services Committee. Then, as ICE ramps up deportation efforts, we sit down with Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons to discuss the latest at the agency and the criticisms of its enforcement policies. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass also weighs in and discusses the impact of those ICE arrests in her city.
