Summary

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.
