US lawmakers are trying to persuade Georgia's government not to adopt the controversial Russian law.

That law, which aimed to promote transparency of foreign influence, was recently passed by the Georgian Parliament.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced a visa restriction policy against Georgian officials following the controversial bill.
00:22
Meanwhile, demonstrations protesting the law are ongoing in Georgia's capital, Tbilisi.
00:27
Citizens opposing the controversial law on transparency of foreign influence gathered in various locations in the city
00:33
and marched towards the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
00:36
This is part of a continuous protest that has been taking place on a daily basis for over a month,
00:43
ever since the law was reintroduced to the Georgian Parliament.

Acts threatening sanctions for Georgia's democratic backslide and a revision of US-Georgian relations are also on the table.

In response, the ruling Georgian Dream Party accused the US of emotional blackmail.
