A US vice-president, Vance, has visited Baku and Yerevan, but skipped Tbilisi, prompting speculation about the state of US-Georgia relations. Some outlets suggest this omission may indicate a shift in US priorities in the South Caucasus region, while others note the visit is part of a broader US strategy focused on peace, trade, and minerals. The reasons for Vance's decision to bypass Tbilisi and the implications for the region are being debated by experts.
