Later that day, Wilson delivered a speech expressing gratitude for recent developments in the Middle East. He wrote: “My one minute speech today thanking @POTUS @realDonaldTrump for the peace and prosperity in the Middle East being implemented by American Patriot @USAMBTurkiye Tom Barrack I witnessed firsthand last week in Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon.” (September 2, 2025).
On September 3, 2025, Wilson addressed U.S. policy toward Serbia and Russia. He posted: “The United States should enforce sanctions on Serbia’s Russian-owned oil company IMMEDIATELY. Serbian President Vucic spoke in Russian when meeting with war criminal Putin yesterday to plead for Moscow to continue its political and energy support. Vucic needs Putin as he lives in”.
Wilson has served as a member of Congress since succeeding Floyd Spence in 2001 and previously represented constituents as a member of the South Carolina Senate from 1985 to 2001. Born in Charleston in 1947 and currently residing in Springdale, Wilson earned degrees from Washington and Lee University (BA) and the University of South Carolina (JD).
