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.

“As we review the relationship between our two countries, we will take into account Georgia’s actions in deciding our own,” Blinken said in a statement.
