The US will discuss a bill to review US-Georgia relations

On March 27, the US Senate will consider the bipartisan MEGOBARI Act initiative concerning relations with Tbilisi. This was reported on the X social network by Washington-based journalist Alex Raufoglu, citing sources in Congress.

According to him, the Senate version of the document was officially presented earlier this week. The Mobilizing and Enhancing Georgia’s Options for Building Accountability, Resilience, and Independence (MEGOBARI Act) provides for a review of US-Georgian relations, including all assistance programs, and requires US President Donald Trump to impose sanctions against the leaders of the Georgian Dream and their accomplices. At the same time, the document speaks of liberalizing the visa regime between the US and Georgia, expanding economic cooperation, and a broad security support package - all of this will be implemented if Tbilisi returns to the path of democracy and abandons anti-Western rhetoric.

The bill was re-initiated by Republican Jim Risch (committee chairman) and Democrat Jeanne Shaheen (committee member).

Earlier, member of the ruling party of Georgia Archil Gorduladze said that the MEGOBARI Act "is not worth the paper it is written on," since it was proposed by senators who hate Georgia. Such blackmail, according to Gorduladze, makes no sense.

"The EU and the European Parliament have adopted a resolution six times, literally demanding sanctions against our country, our honorary chairman Bidzina Ivanishvili and law enforcement officers. Such an act is not worth the paper it is written on," the Georgian Dream MP emphasized.
