Journalist Tucker Carlson is in negotiations to interview Vladimir Putin.

Russia Today, the pro-Putin state-owned media outlet reported this news earlier today.

Former Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson has been seeking an interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin, RT Editor-in-Chief Margarita Simonyan said on Sunday.

"[Carlson] is strongly requesting an interview with Vladimir Putin," Simonyan said on a talk show aired by Rossiya-1 TV channel. "It would be great, if someone listens and notifies the president about this."

Carlson has not commented on the matter. Putin rarely gives one-on-one interviews to foreign media. His last lengthy conversation with a Western journalist was an interview with CNBC anchor Hadley Gamble on the sidelines of the Russian Energy Week forum in Moscow in October 2021.
