we cannot get our ambassadors approved, even the career ambassadors

I want to praise the effort of Members of Congress to get out there and deliver the message that on a bipartisan matter long time friends of Georgia believe this is the wrong path.

Two things. One is it should be clear to the governing party in Georgia that there is a path back, that having free and fair elections without violence against civil society.

We have already postponed a major military exercise, and we will continue to review what we are doing as opportunities arise.

I think anything that we can do to encourage him to behave in a way that is more helpful to the central government and the people of the country would be positive.

I hope that the government of Georgia understands that this is a bipartisan issue.

We have already postponed a major military exercise, and we will continue to review what we are doing as opportunities arise.
