Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan

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.

This week on Face the Nation, the fight over the Strait of Hormuz could threaten the fragile ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran. The short-term truce in the war with Iran is holding — for now — but tensions are escalating over the status of the vital waterway where around 20% of the world's oil and energy supplies travel through. Iran again closing it to ships this weekend, and firing at vessels attempting passage. We get the latest from U.N. Ambassador Mike Waltz.  Former White House adviser on energy security Amos Hochstein will also join us with analysis on how the war continues to spike energy prices. Meanwhile, new developments in what the president calls his push to make America healthy again  — an executive order loosening restrictions on psychedelic drug and a new pick for head of the CDC. We ask former U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams to explain it all. We also hear from former Attorney General Eric Holder on the latest in the partisan fight over redistricting. Plus, we check in on Pope's Leo tour through Africa, as he downplays his dispute with President Trump.
