The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported on plans by US President Donald Trump's family, along with local partners, to build a 70-story Trump Tower in Tbilisi. According to the publication, the building is slated to be the tallest in the Georgian capital.
This news comes amid the ruling Georgian Dream party's desire to restore relations with the United States and establish a partnership with the Trump administration.
The Anti-Corruption Court of Appeals overturned a lower court ruling and ordered the return of Russian businessman and billionaire Samvel Karapetyan from house arrest to a pretrial detention facility.
At the end of 2025, Samvel Karapetyan, who was arrested in Armenia on charges of calling for a coup d'état, had his pretrial detention reduced to house arrest.
Karapetyan, who was arrested in June 2025 after speaking out in defense of the Armenian Apostolic Church (which followed Prime Minister Pashinyan's criticism of church representatives), denies his guilt. In addition to charges of calling for a coup d'état, the Russian businessman, who advocates for Armenia's close integration with Russia, is also accused of money laundering through several companies, which his defense considers unfounded.
