Tucker Carlson said that he came to Moscow for an interview with Lavrov on December 4. According to him, he and his team are trying to show Americans a different point of view from what "they see from NBC News and The New York Times." According to the journalist, ordinary U.S. citizens don't realize that the world is closer to nuclear conflict than it was during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Earlier, on February 9, Carlson interviewed Russian President Vladimir Putin. The Russian president answered questions about NATO, the United States, China, the explosions on the "North Streams" and much more.

Carlson first flew to Russia on February 3. His visit to Moscow caused a mixed reaction in the United States. At the same time, many Western politicians and experts praised the interview, pointing to its great importance in highlighting Russia's position to Western audiences.
