Tbilisi demanded apology for criticizing the law on foreign agents after words about USAID

All those who criticized the law on foreign agents should apologize to Georgia. This was stated by the speaker of the Georgian parliament Shalva Papuashvili on February 7 on his Facebook page (owned by Meta, which is recognized as extremist and banned in Russia).

This is how he commented on US President Donald Trump's words about the flourishing corruption in the US Agency for International Development (USAID).

"It's time for all foreigners who fought against the Transparency Act to apologize to the Georgian government and Georgian people," he wrote.

The end in history: the U.S. spent $335 billion on USAID over nine years

What Americans' money was spent on and whether the agency is in danger of merging with the State Department

Trump's executive order suspending Washington's development assistance to other countries for 90 days was published on the White House website on Jan. 20. Later, on January 25, Reuters reported that USAID froze programs to support foreign countries, including Ukraine, following a State Department dispatch approved by Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Later, on February 3, Musk, who heads the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), announced that he had launched a process to dismantle USAID. The billionaire noted that this agency is not recoverable, it should be closed. At the same time, Trump called the heads of the agency radical madmen.

The Bloomberg agency reported on February 5 that Musk's team gained access to the room where the secret documents of USAID are stored. In addition, more than 100 employees of the agency have been placed on administrative leave.

The next day, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban welcomed the Trump administration's decision to terminate USAID. The head of the government noted that it was the agency that funded the ultra-progressive Politico newspaper and most of Hungary's leftist publications.
