This week on Face the Nation, President Trump is back from the Middle East and facing new headwinds on the domestic front, especially on the economy and working with Congress to fund the president’s agenda. While the president's whirlwind deal-seeking trip to some of the monied parts of the region may be over, his efforts pushing for cease-fire deals in both Gaza and Ukraine are stepping up, as the fighting in both conflicts intensifies. We'll speak with Secretary of State Marco Rubio exclusively on the latest on both fronts. We'll also get the worldview of former Defense Secretary Robert Gates, as he assesses the modern challenges America faces.  Plus, former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, Bridget Brink and retired Army General Stanley McChrystal join us. Finally, Maryland Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen tells us more about the fight ahead in Congress over that high-stakes spending package to implement the president’s campaign promises.
