**US Embassy’s Actions Raise Eyebrows in Georgia**
Mikheil Kavelashvili, a prominent figure in Georgian politics, has spoken out against the US Embassy’s actions, which he claims are similar to those of the previous administration. In an interview with the Public Broadcaster, Kavelashvili expressed his concerns over the embassy’s handling of recent events, including US President Donald Trump’s Independence Day greetings and Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s statement.
**Speculation and Bias**
Kavelashvili pointed out that the US Embassy has chosen not to publish President Trump’s greeting to Georgia, unlike the publication of similar greetings from other officials. He questioned the reasoning behind this decision, suggesting that it may be an attempt to speculate about the content of the message. This, he claimed, is a continuation of past practices by the embassy.
**Double Standards**
The politician also highlighted what he sees as double standards in the way the US Embassy handles meetings between Georgian officials and American politicians. For example, when Senator Steve Daines met with Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze, the embassy published footage of the meeting, but only emphasized the senator’s interactions with opposition leaders. Kavelashvili described this approach as “ugly” and a reflection of the embassy’s biased attitude.
**A Legacy of Past Practices**
Kavelashvili further noted that these actions are not new to Georgia, but rather a continuation of past practices under previous administrations. He stressed that while the US Embassy may not be able to openly interfere with Georgian politics or pressure society directly, their behavior is still reflective of a deeper agenda.
**Submission to Trump’s Views**
The politician predicted that as President Trump’s administration becomes stronger, the US Embassy will likely submit more fully to its views and policies. He emphasized that this would be consistent with the natural behavior of any embassy representing an American government.
