Executive Order 14353 of September 29, 2025

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 recogni-

tion 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 nec-

essary, 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 experi-

ence.

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.
