                      TRUMP SUPPORTS SYRIAN PEOPLE

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, as a member of the Syria 
Caucus, I am grateful to co-lead bipartisan legislation to repeal the 
Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act of 2019.
  Even with the support of war criminal Putin and the terrorist Tehran 
regime, the murderous Syrian dictator Assad was forced out of the 
country by the Syrian people. The Syrian people deserve an opportunity 
for the reconstruction of Syria, assisted by Turkiye, Saudi Arabia, and 
Israel.
  By issuing an executive order, Donald Trump temporarily waived the 
Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act, which imposed sanctions on Syria. 
Now is the opportunity to make it permanent.
  Special Envoy to Syria Tom Barrack is doing an incredible job for 
freedom.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops as the global war on terrorism 
continues. Trump is reinstituting peace through strength. He is 
revealing war criminal Putin's lies, insulting Trump and mocking Trump 
with lovely talk while murdering civilians in Ukraine.
  Today, we celebrate Guam Liberation Day with Delegates Madeleine 
Bordallo and Jim Moylan, appreciating the courage of 1,200 Navy and 
Marine servicemembers who died for the liberation of Guam.
