**US Bill Prohibits Recognition of Bidzina Ivanishvili’s Government**
The US Congress has proposed a bill that prevents the country from recognizing any government led by Bidzina Ivanishvili. The “Georgian Nightmare Non-Recognition Act” aims to stop the US from normalizing relations with any government in Georgia that is controlled by Ivanishvili or his proxies.
**Key Points of the Bill**
* The bill prohibits the US from recognizing Ivanishvili’s government due to ongoing crimes against the Georgian people.
* It also requires the US to oppose recognition of any government led by Ivanishvili, even if it means implementing sanctions.
* The bill demands that the US use its authority to prevent corrupt activity or foreign influence operations in Georgia on behalf of other countries like China, Iran, and Russia.
**US Must Recognize Salome Zurabishvili as President**
The bill also states that the US must recognize Salome Zurabishvili as the legitimate leader of Georgia. This is based on her being the president before Ivanishvili’s government took power.
**Next Steps for the Bill**
The bill will be considered by the Judiciary and Foreign Affairs committees in the House of Representatives, which is a step towards a vote in Congress. If passed, it would become US policy to not recognize any government led by Bidzina Ivanishvili.
