Hopefully, we will see a change in the trajectory of Georgia, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said during a hearing in the US House of Representatives.

In particular, Rubio’s response came in response to a question from Republican Congressman Joe Wilson, which read as follows:

“The illegitimate government of the Georgian Dream, supported by the pro-Iranian regime and the Chinese Communist Party, is threatening US assets. There were rigged elections in Georgia. In light of this, they are facilitating the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to evade sanctions.

In your opinion, what should be done to address the rapid radicalization in the Republic of Georgia promoted by the Georgian Dream government?”

“You’re right. All of the things you’ve mentioned are our current concerns. They’ve taken some steps that indicate that they want to improve their relationship with the United States. We’ve outlined to them what would it take. We’ve received some positive responses.

So our hope is that we’ll see a change in the trajectory that we have in Georgia today. Of course, we understand all of the things that you’ve just laid down, they are pre-existing problems for us. They asked us what would it take to improve relationship with the United States. We’ve responded, and hopefully, we will build on that basis and maybe change not only the trajectory of our relationship with Georgia, but also their behavior,” Rubio said.
