Georgia's PM Urges U.S. Relations Review Amid Rising Tensions

Georgia's controversial "foreign agent" law, modeled after a similar Russian law, has been enacted despite mass protests and warnings from the US and EU about its impact on Georgia's Euro-Atlantic aspirations. The law mandates oversight of NGOs and media receiving significant foreign funding, with penalties for non-compliance. Critics argue it strengthens the ruling Georgian Dream party's grip on power ahead of crucial elections. The law's passage has strained Georgia's relations with Western allies and sparked widespread civil unrest.
