Georgian People’s Act: Sanctions on Officials, $50M for Democracy Support.
This Act imposes financial and travel sanctions on Georgian officials and their families who actively undermine Georgia's Euro-Atlantic integration or engage in significant corruption. Simultaneously, the U.S. commits at least $50 million to directly support Georgian civil society, independent media, and anti-corruption efforts, helping citizens pursue their democratic and pro-Western aspirations. The passage of the controversial "foreign agents law" triggers a review and potential suspension of existing U.S. aid to the Georgian government.
