Co-Chairmen of the Georgia Caucus, U.S. Congressmen Ted Poe (R-TX) and Gerald Connolly (D-VA) introduced the bi-partisan Georgia Support Act.
The Georgia Support Act comprises provisions which reinforce and expand the unwavering support of the United States to Georgia and oppose the forceful illegal Russian invasion of Abkhazia and Tskhinvali region/South Ossetia.
The legislation calls for increased security assistance to Georgia to enhance the country’s deterrence, resilience, and self-defense. It requires the Secretary of State to develop a strategy to improve Georgia’s capabilities to combat Russian disinformation and propaganda campaigns.
The Act proposes sanctions on Russian actors in the occupied Georgian territories of Abkhazia and Tskhinvali region/South Ossetia linked to serious human rights abuses.
Additionally, the act addresses the US Trade Representative to take measures to start negotiations on Free Trade Agreement between the United States and Georgia.
