WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States is introducing new visa restrictions on Georgia and launching a review of bilateral cooperation between the countries over a "foreign agent" bill passed by the Georgian parliament this month, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Thursday.
Blinken, announcing the actions in a statement, said the law would "stifle the exercise of freedoms of association and expression" and impede independent media organizations' work.
