Editorial Notes
References in Text
As defined in section 4872(d)(2), referred to in text, probably means countries specified in subsec. (f)(2) of section 4872 of this title. Subsec. (d) of section 4872 was redesignated as subsec. (f) by Pub. L. 118–159, div. A, title VIII, §844(b)(3), Dec. 23, 2024, 138 Stat. 1991. Further, subsec. (f)(2) of section 4872, as so redesignated, does not define "foreign adversary country" but lists countries defined as "covered nation".
