U.S. Congressional Staff Delegation Visits Georgia

A delegation of U.S. Congressional staff is visiting Georgia as part of a regional trip, the U.S. Embassy in Georgia reported January 28. “The delegation members will meet with Georgian officials and opposition leaders,” the Embassy said, adding, “They will also visit a settlement for displaced persons in Tserovani to learn more about the situation in Georgia.” The visit comes amid lingering uncertainty over bilateral relations. The United States under President Joe Biden suspended strategic partnership with Georgia on November 30, 2024, and sanctioned Georgian Dream founder and honorary chairman Bidzina Ivanishvili a month later. Since then, Washington under Donald Trump has remained largely silent toward Tbilisi, despite Georgian Dream’s claims of “shared values” and stated efforts to reset relations “from a clean slate.” In February, Vice President JD Vance is scheduled to travel to Armenia and Azerbaijan to advance the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity, a peace agreement reached between the two countries in August. The trip will not include Georgia. More to follow...
