"Foreign policy is where Carlson (Tucker Carlson) has made his most aggressive push to reshape MAGA. He has repeatedly targeted Israel, blaming ‘Israel firsters’ and ‘Zionists’ for the supposed failures of US global engagement," writes The National Interest, a mouthpiece of moderate Republicans.

"After Trump helped secure a peace agreement between Azerbaijan and Armenia, Carlson hosted the nephew of Kremlin-affiliated, Armenian-Russian oligarch Samuel Karapetyan, who had been imprisoned in June for allegedly plotting a coup, giving him a platform to accuse a pro-US leader of ‘repressing Christians.’ The interview inflamed tensions as Trump works with the Azerbaijani and Armenian leaders to establish the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity, a trade corridor crucial to US interests," The National Interest adds.
