Joe Wilson, a member of the U.S. Congress representing South Carolina’s 2nd district since 2001, shared his views on several international issues through a series of tweets on February 13, 2025.

In a tweet posted at 20:40 UTC, Wilson addressed European nations regarding migration policy. He suggested that if European countries desire an increase in illegal migrants, they should support Tunisian President Saied. Conversely, he recommended sanctions and cutting aid to his regime to curb illegal migration. He stated, "To our European friends — if you want more illegal migrants, then prop up Tunisian dictator Saied, and if you want to stop illegal migration then sanction & cut aid to his regime. More illegal migration to EU under his dictatorship than during democratic era!"

Later that day at 21:31 UTC, Wilson tweeted about his meeting with Croatian Ambassador Pjer Šimunović. The discussion focused on European security and supporting Georgian freedom against the Ivanishvili regime. Wilson expressed appreciation for Croatia as an ally and acknowledged its independence by stating, "Grateful to meet with Croatian Ambassador Pjer Šimunović to discuss European security and how we can support the freedom of the Georgian people against the tyrannical Ivanishvili regime! Croatia is a great ally and I am grateful for Croatian freedom and independence!"

At 21:46 UTC, Wilson commented on recent developments regarding Syria sanctions. He praised the UK Foreign Office's decision to ease sanctions on Syria and urged America to follow suit in order to assist Syrians in returning home and rebuilding their lives. He remarked, "Grateful @FCDOGovUK is easing sanctions on Syria. It’s time for America to do the same and help Syrians return to their homes and rebuild."
