US Representative Joe Wilson criticizes restrictions on exports to Syria and warns against the dominance of Chinese products.
US Representative Joe Wilson criticized the continued restrictions that prevent American companies from exporting their products to Syria, at a time when Chinese exports to the Syrian market are expanding.
Wilson accused the US Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) of keeping Syria on an old classification list known as Group E, along with North Korea, Iran and Cuba.
Wilson published a graph showing a sharp increase in the value of Chinese exports to Syria, approaching $300 million in September 2026.
Wilson confirmed that American companies want to compete in the Syrian market, while criticizing the continuation of American restrictions that limit their ability to enter this market.
