Joe Wilson, a long-serving member of the U.S. Congress representing South Carolina’s 2nd district, shared his thoughts on recent international developments through a series of tweets. Wilson, who has been in Congress since 2001 and previously served in the South Carolina Senate, addressed issues concerning Syria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Georgia.

On March 12, 2025, Joe Wilson tweeted about his meeting with Ambassador James Jeffrey, President Trump’s former Special Representative for Syria Engagement. In his post, Wilson emphasized the strategic importance of engaging in Syria to counterbalance influences from Iran and Russia. "Grateful to meet with Ambassador James Jeffrey, President Trump’s former Special Representative for Syria Engagement." He warned that missing this opportunity would empower these nations further.

Later that day, Wilson addressed concerns over potential threats to the Dayton Peace Agreement by sanctioned individuals Milorad Dodik and Vladimir Putin. He aligned himself with @SecRubio's stance on resisting these destabilizing efforts in Bosnia and Herzegovina. "US sanctioned corrupt criminal Milorad Dodik and war criminal Putin are threatening to upend the Dayton Peace Agreement..."

In another tweet posted on March 12th, Wilson expressed solidarity with the people of Georgia who have been protesting for free elections against what he described as a regime influenced by external forces. "For over 105 consecutive days...their tenacious love and defense of Georgia and its future will not be in vain."
