Face the Nation: Iran Talks, Weaponization Fund Debate, and Ebola Alarm
A Memorial Day edition of Face the Nation covers a potential U.S.–Iran peace deal with talks on reopening the Strait of Hormuz and unfrozen assets alongside ongoing nuclear negotiations; Sen. Chris Van Hollen criticizes the approach and pushes guardrails on a roughly $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund as Republicans push back. The show also features Reps. Gottheimer and Lawler discussing war powers and bipartisan efforts to address antisemitism, plus Kevin Hassett defending the economy amid high gas prices and war-related uncertainty. Dr. Deborah Birx details the Congo Ebola outbreak, travel restrictions, and preparedness, and the program closes with a Memorial Day interview with Medal of Honor recipients Will Swenson and Matt Williams reflecting on service and optimism for America.
