US reviews co-operation with Georgia over 'foreign agent' law

The US has said it is reviewing its bilateral co-operation with Georgia over its controversial "foreign agent" law that triggered weeks of mass protests in the capital Tbilisi.

In a statement, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Washington was introducing visa restrictions for individuals responsible for "undermining democracy in Georgia".

No officials were named, but they are believed to be members of the governing Georgian Dream party.
