The Georgian office of the Voice of America reported that the White House is considering imposing sanctions against the founder of the ruling Georgian Dream party Bidzina Ivanishvili. This step may become part of Washington's efforts to increase pressure on the Georgian authorities. Previously, US sanctions affected only minor officials and politicians, but possible measures against Ivanishvili may turn out to be more serious. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of such sanctions is questionable, given Georgia's desire to maintain a balance in the country's foreign policy, especially in the run-up to parliamentary elections.
