US Imposes Visa Restrictions and Reviews Ties Over Georgia's 'Foreign Agent' Law

The US will impose visa restrictions on individuals undermining democracy in Georgia due to a controversial "foreign agent" bill that mandates NGOs and media with significant foreign funding to register as foreign agents. The bill, passed by the ruling Georgian Dream party, has sparked mass protests and criticism for stifling freedom and mimicking Russian legislation. The US warns the bill could hinder Georgia's EU and NATO aspirations, while Georgia's President vetoed the bill, though the ruling party may override it.
