Tucker Carlson’s interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin took an unexpected turn when Putin mocked Carlson for his failed attempt to join the CIA.
The former Fox News anchor, known for supporting Putin and opposing U.S. aid to Ukraine, found himself in an embarrassing situation during the interview.
While Putin touched on various topics, including God, the Russian soul, and U.S. President Joe Biden, Carlson failed to address significant issues or challenge Putin.
The interview, the first with Western media since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, showcased Putin’s attempt to leverage the segment for influence.
White House officials cautioned against taking Putin’s words at face value.
