White House: US may reconsider relations with Georgia

The United States warned Georgia Tuesday it will "fundamentally reassess" ties with Tbilisi if it does not withdraw a law barring so-called foreign influence, Report informs, citing AFP.

The White House said it was "deeply troubled" as protesters clashed with riot police after Georgia's parliament adopted a measure that threatens to cast Tbilisi out of the West's orbit.

"We're deeply troubled by Georgia's Kremlin-style foreign agents legislation," Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told a briefing.

"If this legislation passes, it will compel us to fundamentally reassess our relationship with Georgia," she added.
