The United States supports Georgia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity within its internationally recognized borders. We recognize the right of the sovereign people of Georgia to choose the Western orientation. The United States of America will always remember Georgia’s contribution to global security and its commitments to the NATO mission in Afghanistan.
