Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) on Wednesday filed text to permanently repeal legislation that imposed strict sanctions on Syria, following President Trump’s move to unwind penalties on the country following the ousting of longtime dictator Bashar Assad.

Wilson moved to repeal the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act, filing an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act — must-pass legislation that is usually voted on by the end of the year.

“I am trying to use every mechanism possible to repeal this law as soon as possible,” Wilson said in a statement to The Hill.
