Joe Wilson, a U.S. Congressman representing South Carolina's 2nd district, recently made several statements on international affairs through his social media platform. These statements reflect his views on various geopolitical issues and the actions of former President Donald Trump.

On February 5, 2025, Joe Wilson expressed support for former President Trump's approach to Russian aggression, stating that "President Trump will not be dictated to by War Criminal Putin. He sanctioned Nord Stream and armed Ukrainians in his first term. He has threatened maximum pressure on Russian oil. President Trump will end War Criminal Putin’s illegal invasion responsibly."

Later that day, at 15:43 UTC, Wilson announced an upcoming speech regarding political developments in Tunisia. He invited followers to engage with this event by stating "I will give a major speech on Tunisian democracy later today. Tune in!"

At 16:03 UTC the same day, he commended former President Trump's policy towards Iran and its regional proxies by saying "I applaud President Trump for making it the official policy of the United States to degrade the Iranian regime’s surrogates." He further specified targets such as "the Badr Corps and others in Iraq, the Houthis in Yemen, and Hezbollah in Lebanon."
