Later that day, Wilson addressed concerns about Russia’s foreign policy and its impact on U.S. allies in another post: “As co-chair of the House Republican Israel Caucus, I am grateful to bring attention to war criminal Putin’s support for the Iranian regime’s Death to America, Death to Israel agenda. Blood-soaked grain, stolen from temporarily occupied areas of Ukraine, must be rejected. https://t.co/pGG3GJJerH”.
On April 30, Wilson commented on developments regarding press freedom in Eastern Europe: “Grateful for the release of Polish-Belarusian journalist and activist Andrzej Poczobut after 1,860 days in Belarusian prison. Our partnership with model NATO ally Poland is unbreakable and delivers real results for freedom. https://t.co/xvBTP8jDrO”.
