PRESIDENT TRUMP'S LETTER TO PRIME MINISTER OF GEORGIA ON THE OCCASION OF THE INDEPENDENCE DAY OF GEORGIA
2017-06-03 His Excellency Mr. Giorgi Kvirikashvili, Dear Mr. Prime Minister: Since independence, Georgia has emerged as a democratic leader and a contributor to global security. The United States remains grateful for your sacrifices in Afghanistan, where Georgian troops serve bravely alongside U.S. and international forces as part of NATO's important mission there. We also appreciate your partnership in the coalition to destroy the scourge of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. In a region that faces insecurity and outside pressure, Georgia has shown courage and determination in charting its own future. We will continue to support that choice, as Georgian independence and democracy remain an inspiration to the world. The United States also remains steadfast in supporting Georgia's sovereignty and territorial integrity within its internationally recognized borders. My administration and I look forward to continuing our work together to achieve peace, prosperity, and security for our two countries. Sincerely, Donald J. Trump
