**US Election: Georgia‘s Positioning**
A top Georgian official has spoken about the country’s hopes for a new US administration. Mamuka Mdinaradze said Georgia should not be too optimistic or pessimistic about what will happen after January 20.
**Trump’s Promises**
Mamuka Mdinaradze mentioned Donald Trump’s two main promises. These are to end the war in the region and defeat the “Deep State“. The Deep State refers to powerful groups within a country that influence its decisions, but are not officially part of the government.
**Informal Governance**
In Georgia, this concept is often associated with Bidzina Ivanishvili, a powerful businessman who has significant influence over the country’s politics. However, Mamuka Mdinaradze pointed out that the same issue exists in the US, where it is also known as the Deep State.
**US Election Impact on Georgia**
Mamuka Mdinaradze said Georgia’s position will depend on what happens after January 20. If Trump succeeds in ending the war and defeating the informal influences within the US bureaucracy, pressure on Georgia will ease. However, if this does not happen, turbulence is likely to continue.
**US Election and Global Issues**
The official noted that both countries are facing similar challenges with informal governance. He said that a solution to these problems is crucial for global peace and stability.
