**Georgia’s President Speaks in US**
President Salome Zurabishvili talked about the relationship between Georgia and the US. She said that not visiting her country enough might have made Russia feel more powerful.
Zurabishvili said there was a lack of high-level visits from American leaders to Georgia. Secretary Antony Blinken visited the Caucasus but skipped Georgia, and President Zurabishvili herself did not get an official visit to the US in her capacity as President of Georgia.
**Strong America Needed**
The Georgian President wants the US to show strength and protect Georgia’s interests. She said that if the US gives up on Georgia, it will be seen as weak and unable to defend itself against Russia.
President Zurabishvili met with new cabinet members and told them that giving up on Georgia would harm the US’s image of being a strong country. She also spoke about current developments in Georgia, including the actions of the ruling party and its impact on the country.
