The United States has begun to impose the previously promised sanctions against the Georgian authorities for the adoption of the law on foreign agents. This was announced during a briefing by US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller.

He said that Washington is imposing visa restrictions on several dozen Georgian citizens for “undermining democracy” in the country. 

According to the State Department representative, these are members of the ruling Georgian Dream party, as well as members of parliament and law enforcement officers. 

“The United States remains deeply concerned about the anti-democratic actions of the Georgian Dream party, as well as its recent statements and rhetoric. These actions risk undermining Georgia's European future and contradicting the Georgia's constitution,” Miller said.

Washington hopes that Georgian leaders “will reconsider their position on the law on foreign agents, otherwise the United States is ready for new measures.”
