The US imposes visa restrictions on Georgia and reviews cooperation due to a 'foreign agent' bill. The law, criticized for stifling freedoms, requires media organizations receiving over 20% foreign funding to register as 'pursuing the interests of a foreign power.' Protests continue as critics denounce the law as authoritarian and Russian-inspired. Georgian President vetoes the law, but ruling party can override. Council of Europe calls for repeal, EU expresses concern. Georgia claims law promotes transparency. Tensions persist with ongoing protests and clashes. #Georgia #ForeignAgentBill #Protests...
