Marco Rubio on the question about Georgian Dream: We will ask ourselves - is it our national interest to have an anti-American government governing an important part of the world, and if not, we'll take appropriate actions to impose costs on that government

We're looking for options and additional options, - this was stated by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio at the hearing in the US House of Representatives.

Rubio's response came after a question from Congressman Joe Wilson (Republican Party), in which Rubio was asked: "Under your leadership, what will be done in the Department of State that will help to impose a real cost on the anti-American Georgian Dream on behalf of the Georgian people?”

Rubio said that he did not have an announcement today on what specifically the US plans to do, but added that the issue is being considered, "we are looking for options and additional options".

“Going back to what I said earlier in my opening statement, the goal of the United States is our national interest. So we will look at that and say, is it our national interest to have an anti-American government governing an important part of the world, and if not, we'll take appropriate actions to impose costs on that government.

That's currently under review, and we're looking for options and additional options. I have no announcement today specifically on what we plan to do yet, but I can tell you that that is something that's being discussed, and again, a great example of why we're going to look to our regional bureaus and our local office on the ground there to provide us guidance as to what are the measures that the government, the anti-American government, would be most responsive to”, he said,
