President Vladimir Putin interviewed by the American media (2021, 2019, 2018)
Keir Simmons of NBC News interviewed President Putin in Moscow on June 11, 2021. The full interview is now available from multiple sources. Putin was interviewed by the Financial Times in 2019 and by Megyn Kelly of NBC in 2018. Question: has the Russian media ever been granted an interview with an American president? Seems like it's about time that the favour be returned, don't you think? Or is it only President Putin who has the balls for this?
