dirkdiglerT he Americans are all over this watch this unfold in FRR and its shareholders favour.
These overtly hostile actions aimed at American enterprises have rightly gained attention in Congress. Both the House and Senate have recently passed language in appropriations bills addressing the Georgian government’s progressively antagonistic actions against American business interests. Congressman Pete Session (R-TX) identified in the House the amplified aggression from the Ivanisvilli government toward American interests. Further, Congressman Steve Russell (R-OK), a longtime critic of Ivanishvili’s dangerous influence in Georgia, introduced the Georgia Fair Business Practices Sanctions Act of 2017, winning bipartisan support.
These steps by Congress are critical considering that since the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, when Georgia gained its independence, the United States has sent more than $3 billion to the country to bolster its national defense and grow the economy. American aid continues to pour into Tbilisi, making Georgia, with its four million people, one of the largest recipients of U.S. aid per capita.
