Default dependant lists- trigger a blank when 1st one is changed?

Hello:
I currently have two columns:
Column A is Countries
Column B is Cities associated with those countries in Column A

I have the data validation set up so that when you select Australia, for
example, in Column A, it limits/narrows the drop down list in Column B to
only show choices of cities in Australia (Sydney, Brisbane, etc.).

Here's my problem: when I have already selected the Country and city
(Australia and Sydney for example) and then later decide to change the
Country choice, it still shows the old city that I chose for Australia. So, I
may change the country to Japan, but it will still show Sydney in Column B
unless I click on the Column B drop down.

In order to avoid careless mistakes, I would like to have it automatically
trigger the Column B to go blank if Column A is changed. Thus prompting the
person to know that they have to fill a choice in for city from the Column B
drop down.
Is this possible?

Much thanks!!
JR
