Trump is preparing huge duties.

U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham threatened Russian leader Vladimir Putin with significant consequences if he fails to meet Donald Trump's conditions and agree to a compromise on Ukraine.

"Putin, your turn is coming, Donald Trump is Scotty Scheffler (a famous golfer - ed.) of American politics and foreign diplomacy, and he's going to give you a good beating," Graham said.

He emphasized that Trump is going to impose duties on those countries that buy Russian oil - China, India and Brazil. The senator noted that these three countries buy about 80 percent of cheap Russian oil and support the Russian war machine.

"Here's what I would say to China, India and Brazil: if you continue to buy cheap Russian oil.... we're going to put huge duties on you and crush your economy," he said.

Graham emphasized that "Trump is tired of this game. If I were Putin, I would sit down at the negotiating table as soon as possible."
