US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said that Washington will consider the US response to actions taken by the Georgian government.
Regarding the Foreign Influence Transparency Act, Matthew Miller said that the law could stigmatize civil society and stifle freedom of association and expression.

He argued that Washington is concerned that this law will take Georgia off its democratic path and could lead to the stigmatization of civil society and the restriction of freedom of association and expression. He added that these actions could radically change the US relationship with Georgia, which is why Washington has begun to review bilateral relations and is now considering an appropriate response to the Georgian government's actions.

According to Miller, the United States has announced a new sanctions policy, but has not yet announced individual sanctions.
Asked why the U.S. Secretary of State did not speak about Georgia during his stay in Eastern Europe, Matthew Miller noted that Antony Blinken's stance on the issue is clear.

"The Secretary just issued a statement announcing a comprehensive review of our policy toward Georgia, which could jeopardize hundreds of millions of dollars of assistance that we provide to Georgia and announced a new visa restriction policy "that you should fully expect the US to take action on," - said Matthew Miller.

These comments came amid growing expectations of imminent US sanctions against those "responsible for or complicit in undermining democracy in Georgia, as well as their family members," as announced by Secretary Anthony Blinken on May 24. Since then, numerous statements have been made by Georgian Dream (GD) representatives regarding the inadmissibility and improbability of such sanctions. Unconfirmed reports on June 3 indicated that GD officials had allegedly received notices of sanctions against them.

On May 28, the Georgian Parliament overrode a presidential veto and passed the Georgian Dream-initiated "Agents Law" with 84 votes in the final vote.

"No to the Russian law!" - tens of thousands of citizens in Tbilisi and other cities of Georgia have been protesting against the law under this slogan for almost two months. The protests continue. The organizations targeted by the law do not intend to obey the law and are resorting to legal means.
Two weeks before the veto was overridden, on May 14, the day the Parliament passed the "Agents Law" in its third reading, US Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Jim O'Brien visited Georgia. He said that if the law was not amended in line with EU standards, the US would impose financial and travel restrictions on those responsible. Possible visa restrictions and other sanctions are also being discussed in the European Union.
