GPA Act
The GPA Act (HR 8845) establishes U.S. sanctions against Georgian officials who undermine Georgia's Euro-Atlantic aspirations, including those blocking EU/NATO integration or threatening Georgia's sovereignty. It requires the U.S. Secretary of State to identify and revoke visas of Georgian officials involved in corruption, violence against protesters, or policies opposing Georgia's democratic reforms. The bill mandates reports on disinformation campaigns, corruption, political prisoners, and U.S. assistance to Georgia, while requiring a review of defense cooperation and foreign aid. It also suspends U.S.-Georgia strategic dialogue until Georgia aligns with democratic reforms and EU/NATO aspirations, with sanctions set to expire on December 31, 2029.
