**US Imposes Sanctions on Georgian Politician**
The US Treasury Department has taken action against Bidzina Ivanishvili, the honorary chairman of Georgia’s “Georgian Dream” party. This was announced in a statement by the department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).
Ivanishvili and his companies are now subject to sanctions because he is connected to Russia. The restrictions mean that any US person or company cannot do business with Ivanishvili’s companies, even if they own only half of them.
This move shows the US government‘s commitment to limiting ties between American businesses and individuals linked to Russia.
