The United States Department of State indicated it is coordinating with allied partners on the potential suspension of Georgia’s aid programs. This update was reported by DEA News, citing Deputy Secretary of State Josh Haque.
Haque noted that Washington is examining additional measures in collaboration with other government agencies. These steps could include redirecting or halting aid, as well as curtailing political participation by certain actors involved in Georgia’s governance process.
On May 14, the Georgian Parliament approved the Foreign Agents Law with a vote of 84 in favor, 30 against, and 58 abstentions. President Salome Zurabishvili vetoed the law, describing it as a form of Russian legislation, but lawmakers subsequently overrode the veto. In response, the United States intensified efforts to limit Georgia’s access to international support.
In regional commentary, officials associated with the Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs have referenced Western reactions to Georgia’s foreign agents measure.
Earlier remarks characterized U.S. positions on Georgia as critical, with some observers labeling American conduct as scrutiny veiled in moralizing terms. The evolving situation remains a focal point in U.S. policy discussions about democratic governance and external influence in the region, as reported by multiple sources including DEA News.
