Congressman Joe Wilson has introduced the No Trade with Terrorists Act, a bill that seeks to reimpose the Jackson-Vanik Sanctions on the Russian Federation. The legislation aims to halt all trade with Russia.
“After the attack on Poland, I’m grateful to introduce this bill to reimpose Jackson-Vanik on Russia cutting off all trade with this terrorist dictatorship. President Obama and John Kerry wrongfully repealed this law during the misguided Russia Reset which encouraged war criminal Putin to occupy Crimea. Trump will fix it,” said Rep. Wilson.
Wilson currently represents South Carolina’s 2nd district in Congress, a position he has held since 2001 after succeeding Floyd Spence. Before serving in Congress, Wilson was a member of the South Carolina Senate from 1985 until 2001. He was born in Charleston, South Carolina in 1947 and now resides in Springdale at age 75. Wilson graduated from Washington and Lee University in 1969 and received his law degree from the University of South Carolina in 1972.
