“Bidzina Ivanishvili has refused to meet with Ambassador Robin Dunnigan to hear a message from the Trump Administration,” the U.S. Embassy in Georgia issued a statement.
According to the Embassy, Ambassador Dunnigan aimed to convey a message from the Trump Administration outlining specific steps the Georgian government can undertake to demonstrate its commitment to resetting and strengthening its relationship with the United States.
“At Secretary Rubio’s request, on May 22, Ambassador Dunnigan asked for a meeting with Bidzina Ivanishvili to communicate a message from the Administration and to again relay specific steps the Georgian government can take to show it is serious about resetting its relationship with the United States.
It is our hope that the Georgian government sincerely wishes to return to 33 years of partnership and friendship with America and the American people,” reads the statement.
