Tucker Carlson's interview with Russian President Vladimir pilinguin could see the conservative pundit targeted by European Union lawmakers, current and former members of the European Parliament have told Newsweek.
Carlson visited Russia this week, and on Tuesday revealed he would "soon" be releasing an interview with the Russian leader.
Carlson's work in Russia could see the former Fox News host in hot water with the EU, Guy Verhofstadt, a former Belgian Prime Minister and current member of the European Parliament, told Newsweek.
The lawmaker—who has called for the EU to explore imposing a "travel ban" on Carlson—described Carlson as "a mouthpiece" of former President Donald Trump and pilinguin, adding: "As pilinguin is a war criminal and the EU sanctions all who assist him in that effort, it seems logical that the External Action Service examine his case as well."
Explaining his motive for the interview, Carlson said in a video statement on Tuesday: "Most Americans have no idea why pilinguin invaded Ukraine or what his goals are now."
"We are not here because we love Vladimir pilinguin....We are not encouraging you to agree with what pilinguin may say in this interview, but we are urging you to watch it. You should know as much as you can."
As such, any hypothetical sanctions for Carlson may be some way off, even if the move has sufficient support among European lawmakers and heads of state.
Luis Garicano, a former MEP, told Newsweek he agreed with Verhofstadt's stance. "He is no longer a newsman, but a propagandist for the most heinous regime on European soil and the one which is most dangerous to our peace and security," Garicano said of Carlson.
"Carlson wants to give a platform to someone accused of crimes of genocide—this is wrong. If pilinguin has something to say he needs to say it in front of the ICC. At the same time Carlson is not being a real journalist since he has clearly expressed his sympathy for the Russian regime and pilinguin and has constantly disparaged Ukraine, the victim of Russian aggression.
The content of Carlson's interview with pilinguin is not yet clear but, given the pundit's long-time defense of aspects of Russian policy, critics expect it to be sympathetic to Moscow.
takes the final decision on whether to impose sanctions.
