Tucker Carlson says that he is currently in Moscow, and that the interview will take place “soon”.
FOX NEWS former host and political commentator Tucker Carlson says on message service X that he plans to interview the Russian president Vladimir Putin.
In the four and a half minute video, Carlson says that he is currently in Moscow, and that the interview will take place “soon”.
“There are of course risks in doing this kind of interview. That's why we've been thinking about this carefully for several months,” Carlson says in the video.
He justifies the interview as follows: “First of all, it's our job. We are journalists, our job is to convey information to people”.
Carlson also says that the majority of Americans are not aware of the ongoing war in Ukraine. He calls the war a human catastrophe, and mentions its global consequences for the economy and cooperation between different countries.
Of these after the explanations, the explanation of the presenter, who is famous for his extraordinary claims, changes direction.
In the final video, Carlson says that the English-language news media mainly repeats “[Ukrainan presidentti Volodymyr] To Zelensky propaganda” and claims the President of the United States Joe Biden administration to have spied on his phone and thus prevented an interview with Putin three years earlier.
The video ends with the claim that “Western governments” will censor Carlson's upcoming interview as best they can.
