Kremlin incensed by 'killer' Putin comment
The Kremlin is indignant over the comments of a Fox News host who called Russian President Vladimir Putin a "killer" in an interview with President Donald Trump.
In the interview broadcast over the weekend, Bill O'Reilly called the Russian leader "a killer." Trump replied that the US has killers, too.
Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov refused to comment on Trump's reply, but lashed out at Fox News, calling O'Reilly's remarks "unacceptable and offensive."
"We would like to receive an apology from the president from this respected organisation," Peskov told reporters on Monday, referring to Fox News.
"I'm working on that apology," O'Reilly told viewers on his Fox News program Monday night, "but it may take a little time. You might want to check in with me around 2023."
Trump has praised Putin and signaled that US-Russia relations could be in for a makeover under his leadership. Putin has also spoken warmly of Trump.
