This week on Face the Nation, global energy markets remain tied in knots by the conflict with Iran as ships in the Strait of Hormuz remain at a standstill.
As the administration awaits a response to the latest U.S. offer to end the war with Iran, President Trump attended a golf tournament at his golf club in Virginia Saturday, and last week settled on a new label for the military conflict, which has persisted despite a previous declaration that the war had been "terminated".
With critical energy trade routes through the Strait of Hormuz still near-frozen, gas prices continue their march toward higher, we ask Energy Secretary Chris Wright what the plan is going forward. We also hear from Arizona Democratic Senator Mark Kelly, and we have a preview of an interview with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Then, Democrats are dealt a stinging defeat in the latest round of redistricting whiplash. We ask the vice chairman of the House Democratic caucus, California Congressman Ted Lieu, whether his party can still retake the chamber in November's elections.
Plus, passengers from the Hantavirus-infected cruise ship have disembarked off the coast of Africa this morning. We get the latest from former FDA Commissioner Doctor Scott Gottlieb.
Finally, on this Mother's Day weekend, we check in with Janti Soeripto, the president and CEO of Save the Children U.S., on the push to provide humanitarian assistance to children in need worldwide.
