Countries buying cheap Russian oil were also warned

Referring to the countries buying cheap Russian oil, he said that they, too, can come under criticism.
Lindsey Graham warned, "If I were a country that bought cheap Russian oil and supported Putin's war, I would believe President Trump."
Trump threatened to impose tariffs on Russia.
US President Donald Trump said during an Oval office meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Root at the white house that this time, the US will impose 100 percent secondary tariffs on Russia. He said, "I use trade for many things, but it will prove good in ending the war. I don't want to call Putin a killer, but he is a tough person."
We have to see what will happen after 50 days - Russia
After Trump's statement, Russian Foreign minister Sergei Lavrov said that moscow is fully prepared to face new sanctions. The number of sanctions announced against us at the shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) meeting is already quite high. We are facing them. I do not doubt that we will face (potential US sanctions).
According to the Russian news agency TASS, Sergei Lavrov said, "We would like to understand after about 50 days what is meant by this statement. Earlier, time limits of 24 hours and 100 days were given. We have seen all this and would like to understand the intention of the US President."
