Treasury Removes UAE From List of Countries Cooperating in Boycott

The Treasury Department on April 8 removed the United Arab Emirates from its list of countries that require or may require participation in, or cooperation with, an international boycott. The UAE announced a decree last year that repealed its boycott of Israel (see 2010130015), and Treasury said the country has taken “subsequent actions” to “implement the new policy.” Iraq, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria and Yemen remain on the list.
