The Biden administration has decided to suspend $95 million in U.S. assistance to Georgia following the adoption of controversial legislation by the Georgian parliament. The legislation, which critics argue was inspired by a Russian law aimed at stifling political dissent, has led to widespread protests in Georgia.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced the suspension of aid, which would have directly benefited the Georgian government, after a review of assistance initiated in May. Blinken cited the government's 'anti-democratic' actions as the reason for the decision.
