This week on Face the Nation, Vice President Vance and Iranian officials meet face to face in Switzerland to kick off a 60 day period of talks to resolve the nuclear issue, but the Trump administration is finding that their path to peace is complicated.

Did the president wind up with the short end of the deal? We’ll discuss the latest with UN Ambassador Mike Waltz, South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, and a key democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, Colorado's Jason Crow. It's all just ahead on Face the Nation.
