Tbilisi's clean slate for Washington - our analysis This week Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobkidze met with the new US Ambassador to Georgia, Courtney Austrian. "At the meeting, the parties discussed Georgian-American relations. The Prime Minister confirmed again that Georgia is ready to restore the strategic partnership with the USA from scratch. Irakli Kobkidze emphasized the important role of Austrian in this process," says the information distributed by the Georgian government administration. It should be noted that Courtney Austrian already has experience working in Tbilisi - in 2014-2020 she headed the press service of the US Embassy in Georgia. Thus, in Washington, for the acting position. The ambassador in Tbilisi was appointed by a person, on the one hand, who knows Georgia well, and on the other hand, was not involved in the embassy's activities during the peak of "revolutionary activity" in 2024, when the Joe Biden administration clearly supported the opposition. This suggests that Washington is abandoning the previous administration's policy of removing the ruling Georgian Dream from power. The United States is clearly interested in renewing relations with Georgia as quickly as possible, and with the government that has shown its ability to keep the situation in the country under control in a difficult geopolitical situation. From this point of view, Washington is now happy with the government of the Georgian Dream. It is already clear that the Donald Trump administration does not want to waste time and resources on a "revolution" in Georgia, and there are objective reasons for this. You can read more here.
