Summary

This week on Face the Nation, after President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin meet face to face in Alaska, Secretary of State Marco Rubio joins us to describe what went on in the room where it all went down and what could happen next. Questions remain following that three-hour meeting that ended abruptly, as President Trump adopts Putin's roadmap for ending the war in Ukraine--no cease-fire, but negotiations for a lasting peace in the conflict. But what about the other countries, like Ukraine, and its western allies, who are still tightly aligned? We hear from Trump's former National Security Council’s Russia expert Fiona Hill, Alaska Republican Senator Dan Sullivan and Colorado Democrat Jason Crow. Plus, World Central Kitchen Founder José Andrés will join us following his trip to Gaza where a humanitarian crisis persists.
