Greenville Leader

Congressman William Timmons, currently representing South Carolina’s 4th district in the U.S. Congress, recently posted a series of tweets reflecting his activities and perspectives on various national and international matters. Timmons has been in Congress since 2019, succeeding Trey Gowdy, and has previously served in the South Carolina Senate.

In a tweet from April 4, 2025, Congressman Timmons announced, "Vietnam has agreed to level the trade terrain with fair tariffs! Who will be second?" This indicates a development in international trade relations, suggesting a move towards fairer trade practices with Vietnam.

On the same day, Timmons reported on a productive week in Congress, as he tweeted, "We had a productive week!" He highlighted chairing the GOP oversight subcommittee on military and foreign affairs hearing focused on securing telecommunications from state-sponsored cyberattacks. Additionally, he mentioned the House Financial Committee's full committee markup of H.R., though specifics of the bill were not detailed in the tweet.

Later, on April 4, 2025, Timmons expressed satisfaction over the passage of the STABLE Act, remarking, "Smiling because we passed the STABLE Act – a win that reinforces the U.S. dollar’s status as the world’s reserve currency by ensuring stablecoins operate within a secure, dollar-backed framework." This legislative success underscores efforts to stabilize digital currency while reinforcing the U.S. dollar's global standing.
