Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze has expressed his country’s willingness to revive relations with the United States after US President-elect Donald Trump assumes office, TASS reports.

"We can once again highlight our readiness and willingness to significantly revive relations, to redefine strategic relations with the US. We hope to achieve important success in this area," the minister said at a government session, when addressing the upcoming Trump’s inauguration on Monday.

He also noted that the last four years have been a challenge for everyone in the world, and that there were "four revolution attempts" in Georgia. The politician expressed hope that the following four years under Trump will be much more peaceful. According to him, this will have a positive effect on Georgia. "President Trump has a very ambitious plan, a plan of victory against the Deep State, and we would like to wish President Trump success in this endeavor. A victory in this effort will hold critical importance in the restoration of Georgia-US relations," he said.

Kobakhidze also noted that Trump’s victory over the Deep State would assist in spreading "healthy values rather than the ones that have been propagated over the past four years."
