Kakha Kaladze: We view Donald Trump's letter positively; I believe the current U.S. administration has the ability to easily reverse the unfair decisions that were made against the Georgian state

We view Donald Trump's letter positively. I believe that the current U.S. administration, under President Trump's leadership, has the ability to very easily reverse the unfair decisions that were made against the Georgian state and the Georgian people, said Kakha Kaladze, Secretary General of the Georgian Dream party and Mayor of Tbilisi, commenting to journalists on the letter sent by the U.S. President to Georgia's Prime Minister.

Kaladze added that the Georgian side is ready for friendship and partnership.

"Of course, we view the letter positively. We have repeatedly stated that the Georgian government is ready to begin relations from a new chapter. We are fully transparent and ready for friendship and partnership. What was absolutely unacceptable to us was the unfair treatment of Georgia under the previous U.S. administration. I am referring to the sanctions that were imposed without any explanation or justification. There were no grounds for those sanctions—they were simply a tool of pressure and intimidation. I believe that the current administration, under President Trump's leadership, has the ability to very easily reverse those unfair decisions made against the Georgian state and the Georgian people. We are ready for friendship and cooperation. When we speak about partnership and strategic relations, the interests of both countries, as well as those of the American and Georgian people, must, of course, be protected," Kaladze said.

For reference, U.S. President Donald Trump sent a letter to Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze thanking him for his congratulations on the 250th anniversary of U.S. Independence Day.

In the letter, Trump wrote that the United States and Georgia can achieve significant progress by working together to support sovereignty, security, and long-term prosperity.
