The Kremlin is waiting for an apology from Fox News, who called Putin "a murderer"
The Kremlin is confident that offensive language by a Fox News journalist against Russian President Vladimir Putin is unacceptable. When a reporter interviewed Donald Trump, he called Putin a “killer.”
“To be honest, of course, we would prefer to receive an apology to the president from such a respected television company,” quotes Air force Statement by Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov.
Journalist Bill O'Reilly’s scandalous statement was made during an interview with US President Donald Trump. Interviews are published in parts, but excerpts from the conversation concerning Russia have already hit the press.
When asked by a journalist about his attitude towards the Russian president, Trump replied that he respects Putin, like many people, but immediately made the reservation that “this does not mean that I have good relations with everyone.”
"But he [Putin] is a killer," O'Reilly said.
“There are a lot of killers. We [also] have a lot of murderers. Do you think that our country is so innocent?” Trump replied and again repeated his election thesis that “it is better to be friends with Russia than vice versa.”
“If Russia helps us fight ISIS, which is a big fight, and Islamic terrorism around the world, then that’s good,” Trump added.
Vladimir Putin's press secretary did not comment on Trump's response to the Fox News journalist. “As for the statements of the US President, in this case I would leave without comment,” said Dmitry Peskov.
Earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, in an interview with the Austrian magazine Profil, said that Trump’s rhetoric gives hope for the future of bilateral relations.
