Face the Nation S2026E10 - 3/8 - Sec. Chris Wright, Amb. Yechiel Leiter, Sen. Tim Kaine

President Trump spoke to the Qatari emir, who emphasized to the president the "need for diplomacy to de-escalate the situation." The question now is whether the Trump administration can keep global energy moving while this war continues. Imtiaz Tyab reports from Doha. Energy Secretary Chris Wright told "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan" that he believes that oil and gas prices "shouldn't go much higher than they are here because the world is very well supplied with oil," adding that the conflict in the Middle East is "not a long-term war." President Trump, Vice President JD Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Saturday traveled to Dover, Delaware, to witness the dignified transfer of the six Americans killed in action in the war in the Middle East. Israeli ambassador to the U.S. Michael Leiter told "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan" that when talking about the Iranian leadership pipeline, Americans have to remember that "pragmatists have been very limited in their ability to influence in Iran" because "the people influencing deciding for Iran are these ayatollahs." In a phone call with CBS News' Robert Costa, President Trump said he "couldn't care less" about threats from Iran's top national-security official, Ali Larijani. Mr. Trump said he is focused on "getting Iran to a point where they surrender," Costa told "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan." Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia told "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan" that his vote to confirm outgoing Homeland Security Secretary Kristin Noem was a "big mistake," and "what we want to see is not just the change in the nameplate on the door" from President Trump's new nominee Markwayne Mullin. Olga Stefanishyna, the Ukrainian ambassador to the U.S., told "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan" that Russia is "absolutely a factor" in the war with Iran as Russia was "investing in regimes like Iran, Venezuela, and Syria, just because they thought it's not possible to have the resolute action as it is now taking place with Iran and as it was before in Venezuela."
