US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller once again reiterates the US's deep concern about "the change in direction that the Georgian government has implemented".
Accordingly, according to him, the US will use all tools, including the introduction of new sanctions, and "what will happen and who will be affected, we have to wait."
"We're using the tools that are at our disposal and that are supported by both parties. We're also developing new measures when appropriate, in the time that this administration has left and potentially for the new administration...
As you know, I will not talk about new potential sanctions that we will introduce against Georgian officials or individuals in Georgia. We have clearly said that we are deeply concerned about the change in direction, which was also implemented by the Georgian government. Look at the statement from the [State] secretary last week, who said that we will use every tool at our disposal to hold Georgia accountable for these moves - including imposing new sanctions. As for what it will be and who it will affect, you have to wait for their announcement," said US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller at a briefing.
