Assuring the Security of the State of Qatar

The order directs federal agencies to guarantee the security and territorial integrity of the State of Qatar against external attacks. It requires the United States to consider any armed attack on Qatar as a threat to U.S. peace and security, and mandates the U.S. to take all lawful measures, including diplomatic, economic, and potentially military, to defend U.S. and Qatari interests. The Secretary of War, Secretary of State, and the Director of National Intelligence are instructed to maintain joint contingency planning with Qatar, and the Secretary of State is directed to reaffirm this assurance to Qatar and continue partnering with them for conflict resolution and mediation.
