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.
