Executive Order 14353, titled Assuring the Security of the State of Qatar, is an executive order signed by U.S. President Donald Trump on September 29, 2025.[1][2] The order establishes a policy under which the United States would regard an armed attack on Qatar as a threat to its own security and directs federal agencies to coordinate measures, including diplomatic, economic, and military responses, in such an event.[1][3][4]
Background
[edit]The order was issued in the context of longstanding security cooperation between the United States and Qatar, including the hosting of U.S. forces and joint regional operations.[1] The order followed an Israeli airstrike in Doha that raised concerns in Washington due to the close U.S. - Qatar relationship and the presence of a major U.S. military base in the country.[5][6][7]
