The United States is deeply concerned with proposed legislation regarding "foreign agents" in Georgia, the White House said on Thursday, saying it would hate to see anything move forward that would impinge on free speech rights of people in the former Soviet republic.
"We're deeply concerned by this legislation - what it could do in terms of stifling dissent, and free speech," White House national security spokesman John Kirby said at a news briefing. "There's a vibrant civil society there."
