Assuring the Security of the State of Qatar

By the authority vested in me as President by the
Constitution and the laws of the United States of
America, and in recognition of the enduring alliance
between the United States and the State of Qatar, it is
hereby ordered:

Section 1. Policy. Over the years, the United States
and the State of Qatar have been bound together by
close cooperation, shared interests, and the close
relationship between our armed forces. The State of
Qatar has hosted United States forces, enabled critical
security operations, and stood as a steadfast ally in
pursuit of peace, stability, and prosperity, both in
the Middle East and abroad, including as a mediator
that has assisted the United States' attempts to
resolve significant regional and global conflicts. In
recognition of this history, and in light of the
continuing threats to the State of Qatar posed by
foreign aggression, it is the policy of the United
States to guarantee the security and territorial
integrity of the State of Qatar against external
attack.

Sec. 2. Commitment. (a) The United States shall regard
any armed attack on the territory, sovereignty, or
critical infrastructure of the State of Qatar as a
threat to the peace and security of the United States.

    (b) In the event of such an attack, the United
States shall take all lawful and appropriate measures--
including diplomatic, economic, and, if necessary,
military--to defend the interests of the United States
and of the State of Qatar and to restore peace and
stability.
    (c) The Secretary of War, in coordination with the
Secretary of State and the Director of National
Intelligence, shall maintain joint contingency planning
with the State of Qatar to ensure a rapid and
coordinated response to any foreign aggression against
the State of Qatar.
    (d) The Secretary of State shall reaffirm this
assurance to the State of Qatar and coordinate with
allies and partners to ensure complementary measures of
support.
    (e) The Secretary of State shall continue to
partner with the State of Qatar as and when appropriate
for conflict resolution and mediation in recognition of
the State of Qatar's extensive diplomatic and mediation
experience.

Sec. 3. Implementation. All executive departments and
agencies shall take appropriate steps, consistent with
law, to implement this order.

Sec. 4. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order
shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:

(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or
the head thereof; or

(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget
relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.

    (b) This order shall be implemented consistent with
applicable law and subject to the availability of
appropriations.
    (c) This order is not intended to, and does not,
create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural,
enforceable at law or in equity by any party against
the United States, its departments, agencies, or
entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any
other person.

    (d) The costs for publication of this order shall
be borne by the Department of State.

    (Presidential Sig.)
