Georgian Dream Foreign Minister Maka Bochorishvili stated that the US House hearing offered no clear position on Georgia, instead underscoring that American foreign policy is centered around its own national interests.
“The only conclusion we can draw from today’s response is that there is no defined stance regarding Georgia—particularly in discussions framed around US national interests,” Bochorishvili said, responding to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s remarks during the hearing.
Bochorishvili criticized the question posed by Congressman Joe Wilson as “entirely disinformative,” asserting that the framing was misleading and detached from reality. She emphasized that none of Wilson’s claims—regarding election rigging, anti-American policies, or ties with China—reflected the true state of affairs in Georgia.
“Before analyzing Rubio’s response, we must first examine how the question was posed. Joe Wilson, whose views are familiar to us, based his comments on a narrative full of misinformation. Every statement about Georgia was misleading and inaccurate,” Bochorishvili told Rustavi 2.
She rejected the claim that Georgia’s government is anti-American, noting that its ideological alignment remains consistent with the priorities of the current US administration. “When evaluating Rubio’s remarks, the full context of the hearing must be considered—what was being discussed and emphasized,” she added.
