The Kremlin has declined to say whether Vladimir Putin would grant an interview to Tucker Carlson, the far-right American journalist, after the former Fox News presenter was spotted in Moscow. Asked if he was in Moscow to interview Putin, Carlson said: “We’ll see.” He then smiled. Carlson recently claimed he previously tried to interview the Russian president but was “stopped” by the US government. Responding to a picture of Carlson travelling to Moscow, Adam Kinzinger, the former Republican Illinois representative, wrote on X that Carlson was a “traitor”. “We have a free press in this country and its [sic] people like Tucker Carlson who we depend on to speak the truth,” she wrote on X.
