Media personality Tucker Carlson, an influential ally of President-elect Donald Trump, said he’d interviewed Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in Moscow, amid speculation over the incoming US administration’s plans to rapidly end the war in Ukraine.

Carlson said he’d met Lavrov to learn whether Trump’s election would “mean an end to this war,” in a video posted on the X social-media platform. He said he also wanted to know if Russia and the US are “headed toward an unprecedented conflict” after President Joe Biden’s outgoing administration allowed Ukraine to use American long-range missiles to strike targets inside Russia.
