Joe Wilson is a completely frivolous man in every respect, and I think no one takes him seriously even in his own country, - Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze stated.

As Irakli Kobakhidze noted, President Trump is trying his best to deepen relations with China.

"Joe Wilson represents the president's party, the Republican party. You know that President Trump is trying his best to deepen both political and economic ties with China. He recently had a visit to China, he calls the Chinese president a friend, and against this background, when someone like Joe Wilson comes out and talks about China having a negative impact on the South Caucasus region, it is completely frivolous and does not deserve any special comments," - the Prime Minister stated.

For information, the US House of Representatives has passed the Countering China’s Control of the Caucasus Act. The bill was introduced in the US Congress on February 24, 2026.

The bill was introduced by US Congressmen Joe Wilson (Republican Party) and Steve Cohen (Democratic Party).

This bill requires the Department of State to submit a classified report to Congress that examines Russian and Chinese influence and intelligence activity in Georgia.
