Joe Wilson, a U.S. Congressman representing South Carolina's 2nd District since 2001, shared his views on recent geopolitical developments and local economic initiatives through a series of tweets. These posts offer insight into his stance on international relations and support for regional growth.

On March 13, 2025, Joe Wilson expressed approval of the actions taken by President Trump regarding Russia. In a tweet he stated: "Grateful that President Trump has imposed further sanctions on Russia. War Criminal Putin is not ready for peace. Massive sanctions and massive support for Ukraine necessary for massive leverage for FULL land swap Art of the Deal."

Later that day, at 22:18 UTC, Wilson criticized Russian President Vladimir Putin's perspective in another post: "War criminal Putin’s entire worldview is just woke identity politics in a different costume. Russia is always the oppressed victim, the West is always the oppressor, and history must be rewritten to fit the narrative. Critical Russia Theory (CRT) in action."

The following day, March 14, 2025, Wilson acknowledged efforts to boost economic development in South Carolina with strategic partnerships: "Grateful to Sec. Harry Lightsey and state/local leaders in promoting strategic partnerships & investment across the great state of South Carolina. This $70mil investment by German-based ALLTAPE brings 130 jobs to the Midlands. Welcome to SC-02!"
