US Act to Support Georgia's Democracy and Impose Sanctions on Officials.
This legislation aims to support the Georgian people's democratic aspirations by monitoring the political environment and imposing sanctions on officials undermining human rights. If Georgia demonstrates significant democratic progress, citizens could benefit from preferential trade, easier US visas, and substantial economic and defense aid. Otherwise, officials responsible for democratic backsliding face travel restrictions.
Key points
Sanctions, including visa bans, will be imposed on Georgian officials responsible for undermining democracy, human rights, or advancing the "Russian-style foreign agent legislation."
The US will offer Georgia a preferential trade regime, visa liberalization, and defense equipment packages, contingent upon certified democratic progress.
Intelligence reports are mandated regarding Russian influence, corruption, and sanctions evasion within Georgia.
