President Donald Trump has signed an executive order for the US to guarantee the security of Qatar — a significant commitment to a non-NATO, Arab ally.
“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,” the order, which is dated Monday, reads.
The order marks a significant achievement for Qatar, which – like other wealthy Gulf Arab states – has long sought a stronger US security guarantee. In 2022, Qatar was officially designated a major non‑NATO ally by the Biden administration, granting it enhanced military and defense privileges. It also hosts Al Udeid Air Base, one of the biggest US military hubs in the Middle East, highlighting the already deep security ties between Doha and Washington.

Pretty sure making defense treaties without congress is illegal. Then again, the constitution apparently no longer matters anymore.
