Summary

Last weekend, Tunisian President Kais Saied dismissed the Prime Minister and suspended all activities by the parliament inciting protests with opposition leaders calling it a “coup”.

FOX’s Trey Yingst speaks with Congressman Joe Wilson (R-SC), Foreign Affairs Committee Member, who has recently written a letter to the Secretary of State urging the administration to do more to help Tunisia during this time.
