During her daily press briefing, Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre expressed the White House's deep concern over Georgia's "Kremlin-style foreign agents legislation," warning that if passed in its current form, it would force the United States of America to fundamentally reevaluate its relationship with Georgia.

Jean-Pierre stressed that the U.S. "has been outspoken in expressing our concerns about the legislation, which runs counter to democratic values and would distance Georgia from the values of the European Union and NATO." She acknowledged the resilience of Georgians who, "undeterred by intimidation, have been telling their government that they oppose this legislation because they want a Euro-Atlantic future."

Earlier in the day, Vedant Patel, speaking on behalf of the U.S. Department of State, stated that "there is still time to work together, but it's our view that the Georgian government needs to change course from the path it's on."

In addition, U.S. Senators Jim Risch (R-Idaho), ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), chairwoman of the Subcommittee on European and Regional Security Cooperation, along with U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Ben Cardin (D-Md.) and eight other senators from both parties, expressed their "deep disappointment" with the Georgian parliament's passage of the foreign agents law.

Their statement noted that the vote "was taken in defiance of the wishes of hundreds of thousands of Georgians who continue to peacefully protest legislation that will not only be used to restrict free speech, but will also hinder the advancement of democracy in Georgia."

Referring to an earlier letter from the Ranking Members of the Foreign Relations Committee, they recalled that "passage of this legislation will require Congress to consider a shift in U.S. policy toward Georgia," including "sanctions against those responsible for undermining democracy, visa bans, and reconsideration of direct U.S. assistance."

Georgia's EU partners have issued a number of statements condemning the passage of the law in its third reading. Edgars Rinkēvičs, President of Latvia: "The Foreign Agents Law adopted by the Georgian Parliament is incompatible with EU norms and values. The visit of the foreign ministers of Latvia, Estonia, Iceland and Lithuania to Tbilisi is a good opportunity for an open discussion. In the meantime, I urge the Georgian authorities to respect the right to peaceful assembly and protest."

Roberta Metsola, President of the European Parliament, said: "Tbilisi, we hear you! We see you! The Georgians on the streets are dreaming of Europe. Proudly they wave the European flag. They want a European future. They expect European values and standards. The European Parliament stands by the people of Georgia".

Annalena Baerbock, German Foreign Minister, said: "Europe's freedom union is built on the rule of law. This is precisely why the people of Tbilisi are taking to the streets. It is up to the Georgian government to seize the historic opportunity offered by Europe, instead of introducing laws that run counter to Europe's values".

The Polish Foreign Ministry said: "We express our deep disappointment with the adoption by the Georgian Parliament of the law "On Transparency of Foreign Influence", which distances Georgia from the European Union. We call on the authorities to stop repressing NGOs and independent media."
