Tucker Carlson, Trump’s shadow diplomat

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:51:01 GMT

BRUSSELS — Donald Trump has mulled naming Tucker Carlson as his vice president if he gets another term as U.S. president. But Carlson, the ex-Fox News journalist and polemicist, looks more like he’s auditioning to be Trump’s top international diplomat.Since his ouster from cable TV, Carlson has been taking his new X show on a world tour, and his interviews with Argentina’s Javier Milei and Hungary’s Viktor Orbán have racked up hundreds of millions of views.Yet Carlson is also engaging in a sort of shadow diplomacy. In early November, he popped up in London to visit Julian Assange at Belmarsh prison. Eleven days later, Carlson was spotted on the streets of Madrid, alongside Santiago Abascal, leader of Spain’s far-right Vox party, amid protesters against amnesty for Catalan separatists. “Your politics are complicated for an American,” Carlson told Spanish outlet El Confidencial. “I want to understand it and try to explain it.”This week, Carlson released an episode of his X show entitl...
