We are very pleased that such a letter has been received from the US presidential administration, which directly expresses openness towards cooperation, - Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze said when commenting on the congratulatory message sent by US President Trump to Mikheil Kavelashvili.
According to the head of government, this is exactly what the Georgian government requested, both in a closed and an open letter.
According to Kobakhidze, within two days we saw 2 different letters from the US, the first was written by the “deep state” and the second was drawn up in the Trump administration, which shows the struggle between the Trump administration and the “deep state”.
In addition, Kobakhidze explains that one letter in fact did not recognize the government, as the addressee was directly people and the government elected by the people was bypassed, while the addressee in President Trump's letter is the Georgian government and Mikheil Kavelashvili, which talks about developing cooperation with the Georgian government.
Kobakhidze believes that this duplication from the same government directly demonstrates the confrontation that "is now taking place between the Trump administration and the deep state".
“It is interesting that during these two days we saw two different letters, one sent from the State Department and the other from the presidential administration. The first letter was written by the deep state and the second letter was drawn up by President Trump’s administration. There is a radical difference and this already shows the struggle, the confrontation that is taking place between the new administration and the deep state. The is the only explanation of the radically different letters. One letter in fact did not recognize the government, as the addressee was directly people, while the government elected by the people was bypassed, and then a letter came from President Trump to President Kavelashvili, the addressee of which is directly the Georgian government, President Mikheil Kavelashvili, and there was direct talk about developing cooperation with the Georgian government. This duplication from the same government directly demonstrates the confrontation that is taking place now, between the Trump administration and the deep state. We are, of course, very pleased that such a letter has come from the US presidential administration, which directly expresses openness to cooperation, and we have been asking for this. We sent a closed letter and then we sent an open letter to President Trump. The spirit was the same," the Prime Minister said in an interview with First Channel.
