Georgian PM wishes Donald Trump “success in defeating deep state”

Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze on Friday said the United States President-elect Donald Trump had “promised that he would defeat the deep state”, and wished him “success in this very important matter”.

In his remarks over the matter, Kobakhidze claimed “unjust” decisions of the current US administration in relation to Georgia were the “result of the actions of the deep state”.

He [Trump] said something like this - either the deep state will destroy the United States or the United States will destroy the deep state. You can see that for all these four years, it was the deep state that was destroying the United States, and this is the cause of the unjust decisions that we hear so often from American bodies”, the PM alleged.

The Government head further added the US needed “deoligarchisation”, pointing out that “President Trump also believes that the US needs to be freed from informal influences”.

Kobakhidze also claimed that “if the deep state is defeated in the United States, it will also have an impact on the European Union, and no one will ask us to repeal or revise laws on transparency and family values”.
