Georgia's ruling party has accused the US of running politics of "threats and blackmail" against Georgia and that they are trying to limit the country's independence by trying to prevent the adoption of part of the domestic legislation, Reuters reported, quoted by BTA.
US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said yesterday that the US is imposing new visa restrictions on Georgia and launching a review of bilateral cooperation between the countries over the "foreign agents" bill being pushed by the ruling Georgian Dream party.< /p>
The head of the faction of the ruling party in the Georgian parliament described Washington's decision as "comic".
In addition, the Georgian parliament is expected to begin the procedure of overriding the presidential veto on the bill on "foreign agents" on May 27, according to a publication on the Parliament's website.
