Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) urged Congress to back President Donald Trump’s Middle East strategy and repeal the Caesar Act during an exclusive interview on Breitbart News Saturday one day after publishing an op-ed on Breitbart about recent developments in Syria and the broader Middle East.
In his Breitbart op-ed, published Friday, Wilson described accompanying Ambassador Tom Barrack and Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) on a recent trip to Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon, where he said he witnessed historic opportunities for peace and stability following Assad’s ouster in December 2024. Wilson argued that the Caesar Act, enacted in 2019 to impose sanctions on Assad’s government, now hinders U.S. policy by discouraging long-term investment in Syria’s reconstruction.
