US journalist Tucker Carlson said he was back in Russia to interview Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, US News reported.
Carlson, a supporter of US President-elect Donald Trump, interviewed Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow in February. It was also Putin's first interview with an American journalist since the start of the war in Ukraine.
Appearing against the backdrop of the Kremlin in a video on its website, Carlson said he would ask Lavrov whether the U.S. and Russia were heading toward a potential nuclear conflict and whether Moscow thought Trump would end the war in Ukraine.
The journalist said the interview with Lavrov would be broadcast "very soon," without specifying a date.
U.S. media commentators have widely criticized the way Carlson handled the Putin interview, saying Carlson allowed the Kremlin leader to control the agenda and failed to press him on important issues such as allegations of war crimes in Ukraine.
The journalist did not say where the interview with Lavrov would be broadcast. The two-hour interview with Putin was broadcast on Carlson's internet platform and on the social media site X. | BGNES
