Transparency & Accountability
- Intelligence reporting to Congress — Secretary of State must submit classified assessment of Russian and Chinese penetration of Georgia within 180 days
- U.S.-Georgia strategy disclosure — Unclassified five-year bilateral strategy required, submitted to congressional committees and made publicly available
The details
The U.S. government has grown increasingly concerned about Russian and Chinese intelligence operations expanding into Georgia, a small country in the Caucasus region that borders Russia and has been working to build closer ties with the West. This bill requires the Secretary of State — working with U.S. intelligence and defense officials — to produce a classified assessment within 180 days of how deeply Russian and Chinese intelligence have penetrated Georgia, and whether the two countries are coordinating their influence there. Separately, the State Department must release a public five-year strategy laying out specific goals for the U.S.-Georgia relationship, including whether Georgia should remain a priority recipient of U.S. foreign aid in the Europe and Eurasia region. The strategy must also assess whether Georgia's government remains committed to trade ties with the U.S. and Europe and whether continued U.S. investment in Georgian projects is warranted.
