On September 28, an amendment by U.S. Representative Joe Wilson regarding the non-recognition of the Georgian Dream party was included in the State Department Authorization Act. Congressman Wilson announced this development on the social media platform X, expressing his gratitude for the passage of his amendment, which he titled "Non-Recognition of the Georgian Nightmare." According to Wilson, "insulting America, as well as supporting communist China, Iran, and Russia, is a one-way ticket to isolation."

The amendment stipulates that no federal official or employee may take any action, and no federal funds may be allocated, for the purpose of official U.S. government recognition of the current Georgian government led by the Georgian Dream party. Congressman Wilson's proposal was previously supported by the House Foreign Affairs Committee on September 18. The complete State Department Authorization Act, now containing this amendment, has yet to be voted on in a plenary session of the House of Representatives.

This move aligns with previous legislative efforts by the congressman. Joe Wilson is also one of the sponsors of the MEGOBARI Act (Making Enemies Get Out Before Allies Risk Isolation), which the U.S. House of Representatives passed in May 2025. The bill has not yet been approved by the Senate. It calls for sanctions against those responsible for undermining democracy in Georgia and advancing the interests of Russia, China, and Iran. Additionally, it proposes closer U.S. cooperation with Georgia, contingent on the country adjusting its foreign policy.

In response, the Georgian government has described the bill as a "hostile act" and considers it to be a result of the actions of the so-called “deep state.”
