PM highlights “striking value-based, ideological” alignment between Georgian Government, Trump administration

Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze on Tuesday addressed an open letter to the United States President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance, noting that his Government’s assessments regarding the war in Ukraine, gender and LGBT propaganda, and many other issues were completely aligned with the United States administration.

In an open letter, Kobakhidze noted that there was a striking value-based and ideological alignment between the Georgian Government and the Trump administration.

“On the backdrop of such strong value-based and ideological convergence, the Georgian people initially expected that Georgia would be among the first countries to attract particular interest from your administration. Such interest, for example, has been shown toward Romania and Germany, where, with the support of European bureaucracy, undemocratic actions have taken place. However, to the surprise of both the Georgian people and ourselves, your administration has shown no such attention toward Georgia to this day”, the PM said.

“Taking all this into account - and given that your administration actively engages in dialogue and communication with numerous states, including some that are openly undemocratic and authoritarian - your silence with regard to Georgia lacks any logical explanation from our perspective. We spoke openly about the criminal activities of the deep state, USAID, NED and other related entities several years before you made identical statements. Our assessments regarding the war in Ukraine, gender and LGBT propaganda, and many other issues are completely aligned’, Kobakhidze concluded.
