The Biden administration has recently imposed sanctions on the founder of Georgia’s ruling political party, Georgian Dream, due to the party's shift towards Russia and away from a pro-Western stance. Bidzina Ivanishvili, the founder and honorary chairman of Georgian Dream, has been targeted with penalties by the State and Treasury departments for allegedly undermining Georgia's democratic and Euro-Atlantic future in favor of the Russian Federation.
This move is part of a series of sanctions imposed by the U.S. on Georgian politicians and lawmakers this year. The sanctions include asset freezes, property restrictions in U.S. jurisdictions, travel bans on the targets, and their family members.
