NEW!!! U.S. 'concerned' about the enforcement of Georgia's "foreign agent" legislation (aka russian law) for those entities that did not voluntarily register, including critical civil civic organizations and independent media, DoS Spox Matt Miller tells reporters.
DoS Spox Miller: "The Georgia government continues to move in a deeply troubling direction, one that moves the country further away from its Euro-Atlantic trajectory, which the Georgian people we know overwhelmingly desire."
DoS Spox Miller: “"As part of our comprehensive review of bilateral cooperation between the U.S. and Georgia the Secretary announced, we have implemented visa restrictions on dozens of Georgian individuals and their family members, including members of the Georgian Dream party, members of the Parliament, law enforcement and private citizens.And we have paused $95 million in assistance that directly benefited the Govt of Georgia in response to that. That review remains ongoing, I would not rule out further actions"
