The following day, October 8, 2025, Wilson commented on foreign policy regarding Georgia: “.@StateDept is right.

Grateful my House colleagues overwhelmingly adopted a policy of non-recognition. Anyone carrying water for the GD does so against”.
Later that same day, Wilson praised former President Trump’s diplomatic efforts: “President Trump continues his legacy as a peacemaker. Grateful for the support of regional allies in reaching this historic agreement for the betterment of all. https://t.co/nz717dF4na”.
