Joe Wilson, a member of the U.S. Congress representing South Carolina's 2nd district since 2001, expressed his views on several issues through social media posts dated March 10, 2025. The congressman addressed concerns about violence in Syria and called for action against financial institutions allegedly involved in illegal activities.

In a post on March 10, 2025, Wilson stated his position on the ongoing situation in Syria: "I condemn any outbreaks of violence in Syria, as the country has suffered so much already. Any foreign malign actors seeking to facilitate and benefit from destabilization will not succeed."

Later that day, at 19:20 UTC, Wilson made a succinct call for sanctions against an Iraqi bank: "Sanction Rafidain Bank".

By 20:08 UTC on the same day, he elaborated further on his stance regarding financial misconduct involving Iraq’s Rafidain Bank and its implications for Iraqi Kurds. He tweeted: "No more delay by @USTreasury to sanction Iraq’s Rafidain Bank – laundering billions for Iraqi militias while Iraq’s Minister of Finance @Alltyf_ is starving Iraqi Kurds and not paying their salaries. This must end. Trump will fix it."
