The US State Department commented on the open letter of the Georgian Prime Minister to Trump

At the request of a journalist, US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller assessed the open letter of the Prime Minister of Georgia Irakli Kobakhidze to the American authorities. This was reported by the Formula TV channel.

“The United States clearly stated what steps the Georgian government can take to demonstrate that it is serious about improving relations with the United States. The largest delegation of Georgian businessmen is expected in Washington this week. We are happy to host it,” Formula quotes the comment.

In addition, the TV channel notes that, according to Miller, the State Department “will not publicly comment on diplomatic negotiations.”

Recall that earlier, the Georgian Prime Minister addressed an open letter to US President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance. In it, among other things, he expressed hope for a “sincere confrontation” of the American authorities with the “Deep State” and a reset of Georgian-American relations. Kobakhidze stressed that the values ​​and ideologies of the Georgian Dream and the US presidential administration are “completely identical” and expressed bewilderment over the “completely incomprehensible” American sanctions against the Georgian authorities and the process of adopting the MEGOBARI Act.
