been removed, less than two months after the list was set up.
The countries removed from the list are Barbados, Grenada, the
Republic of Korea, Macao, Mongolia, Panama, Tunisia and the United

American Samoa, Bahrain, Guam, Marshall Islands, Namibia, Palau,
Saint Lucia, Samoa and Trinidad and Tobago.
