He made the statement on social media platform X.According to Senator Graham, NATO’s announcement of plans to purchase U.S. weapons for Ukraine was “welcome news.”“Equally important was his (Trump - ed.) statement that if the fighting had not ended in 50 days, he would impose up to 100% tariffs on countries buying cheap Russian oil propping up Putin’s war machine - hitting Putin where it hurts the most,” the senator wrote.He also said that if he were a country buying cheap Russian oil and supporting Putin’s war machine, he would “take President Trump at his word.”“If Putin and others are wondering what happens on day 51, I would suggest they call the Ayatollah,” Graham added.Earlier, Donald Trump announced that he would impose secondary tariffs on Russia, which could reach 100% if a peace agreement with Ukraine is not reached within 50 days.Deputy Chairman of Russia’s Security Council Dmitry Medvedev called U.S. President Donald Trump’s 50-day deadline for a peace deal with Ukraine a “decorative ultimatum” that Moscow didn’t even notice.What happened between the U.S. and Iran?On June 20, Donald Trump gave Iran's ruling elite “two weeks” to abandon its nuclear program. Until then, the United States allegedly will not enter a war against the Islamic Republic of Iran on the side of Israel.On the night of June 22, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump announced air strikes on three nuclear facilities in Iran. According to him, the US military struck the facilities in Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan.Later, Trump said about the Ayatollah: “His Country was decimated, his three evil Nuclear Sites were OBLITERATED, and I knew EXACTLY where he was sheltered, and would not let Israel, or the U.S. Armed Forces, by far the Greatest and Most Powerful in the World, terminate his life.”
