  Dear Mr. President,
  On the 25th anniversary of our countries’ diplomatic relations, I extend to you and the Georgian people my warmest wishes and sincere appreciation for our longstanding friendship and cooperation.

Georgian independence and democracy remain an aspiration to the world.
  My Administration and I look forward to future collaboration with you and the Georgian government to advance the shared values and prosperity of our two countries.
  Sincerely,
  Donald J. Trump
