Trump Gives Qatar Major Security Guarantees

Welcome to Foreign policyStatus report. We went back to our regularly scheduled programming after a non -stop procedure at Unga 80 last week. Thanks again for reading our coverage!

Well, this is what is on the tap for today: Trump Provides security guarantees for Qatarand Ukraine He was appointed for help to us Russia targetingAnd Trump tells Congress that the United States is in war with medicine Cartlatat.

US President Donald Trump signed an executive on Monday that provides security-like security guarantees to Qatar-the door opened the US military response to an attack on the wealthy nation.

It states that Washington will consider “any armed attack on land, sovereignty or critical infrastructure” in Qatar as “a threat to the peace and security of the United States.” He goes on, saying that in the event of such an attack, the United States will take all diplomatic, economic and military measures “legal and appropriate” to defend its interests and the issues of Qatar.

It is very unconventional for an American president to provide unilateral security guarantees to another country. However, the unprecedented step only carries a little legal weight. Under the United States Constitution, Congress can only declare war, and requires the approval of the Senate approval. The future president can easily retract an executive order like this, unlike the legislation issued by Congress.

But the presidents still have a broad authority over the army under Article Two of the Constitution and they can order the American forces to take measures that are necessary for national security. Trump has already shown that he is ready to use military force without the approval of Congress.

Qatar first? Trump signs something that can see the United States forces committed to defending the country of the Middle East, sharply from pushing it to foreign policy “America first”. Although the language of the matter gives Trump some spaces on how to respond to an attack on Qatar, any participation in the forces in response to such an incident would also undermine the president’s pledge of “no new wars” during his second term.

Trump signed a few weeks after Israel bombed Qatar to target the senior Hamas leaders in Doha. The strike failed to remove any great enthusiasm figures, but killed five members of the group and Qatari security officer.

Doha was angry at the strike, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu apologized to the country for a phone call to the White House after confronting the pressure from Trump. But although Trump was clearly satisfied with Israel due to the strike, it is unlikely to respond to a future Israeli attack on Qatar by military force.

Israel is a better American ally, and no modern president has taken any important steps to punish it for the various measures it has taken in the name of its security throughout the region. But at least, the new executive is a reference to Israel and other countries that Trump is taking Qatar’s security seriously.

Trump treats Qatar. The United States has had close relations with Qatar, which Washington considers a major ally other than NATO, for years. The largest American military base is located in the Middle East, Al Udeid, in Qatar, about 20 miles southwest of Doha. Iran targeted Iran in June after the US strikes against Iranian nuclear facilities.

Qatar looked at the American military presence within its borders, as well as the role of Doha as a mediator in conflicts such as the war in Gaza as a way to ensure its security in a volatile area often. But the Iranian attack and the latest Israeli strike stabbed this perception. Although Doha indicated that it will continue to play the role of mediator even after the Israeli attack, Trump’s executive matter provides much stronger security guarantees.

In 2017, Trump said Qatar “historically was the pleasure of terrorism at a very high level.” But in his second term, Trump has put a special value on the relations with the country, which has given him a talent of $ 400 million, 747 Jetliner earlier this year, which will be eventually used as the new Air Force One.

Trump has entered into a deal in April to build millions of dollars in a luxury golf resort in Qatar. The planned resort has already faced criticism from ethics monitoring groups, and the new executive order is likely to put Trump’s transactions with Qatar (and the Gulf countries in general) with the most uncomfortable highlight – while raising questions about his alleged commitment to preserving the United States from foreign tangles.

Hundreds of thousands of US federal government employees remained on the second day in a row on Thursday, with negotiations to end the first government closure in the country in nearly seven years, which is expected to continue next week. This has significant effects on US foreign policy, as Rishi wrote yesterday, from satirical intelligence agents to European diplomats, who are likely to cancel official visits. If you are wondering whether the United States is the only country in which the government is almost regularly closed (he) and why, you have covered John.

Meanwhile, Mike Waltz, a former Trump’s national security adviser, who first appeared in the post -reference field, will not be considered an American ambassador to the United Nations at Unga last week, a member of the cabinet in Trump anymore.

What should be on your radar, if not really.

Press up enthusiasm. According to Hamas leaders, they will accept the 20 points of peace to end the war in Gaza, which the US President published on Monday during a White House meeting with Netanyahu. Trump said that he would almost give Hamas until the end of this week to accept or reject the proposal, as the White House shares statements from many world leaders, including Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carne and French President Emmanuel Macron urging the armed group to agree to Trump’s plan.

Hamas also faces pressure from the Palestinians in Gaza, where he told many of them New York Times In the interviews that they hope will lead the group’s leadership the deal.

However, the plan contains many privileges that Hamas is likely to find unacceptable, including launching all the remaining hostages that the group caused in Gaza before the full withdrawal of the Israeli forces. The plan also calls for a complete disarmament of enthusiasm, a request to reject the group in the past.

Meanwhile, Israel intercepted and seized many boats that were part of the fleet aimed at providing aid to Gaza, and detained many activists including Greta Thunberg and the grandson of Nelson Mandela. The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that the activists will be deported to Europe.

Ukraine for intelligence information. The Trump administration will start providing Ukraine with the intelligence it needs to strike targets deeply inside Russia, Wall Street Journal This was reported, which may allow the Ukrainian army to hit Russian energy stations and refineries and reduce the energy revenues that have maintained the efforts of the Moscow War. Trump also weighs Ukraine’s weapons such as Tomahawk missiles capable of carrying out such strikes.

The batch of Ukraine comes amid Trump’s frustration with Russian President Vladimir Putin and the faded Russian commitment to the peace process, as well as increasing pressure from European Ukraine allies who move towards exploiting the frozen Russian origins to help Kiev and create a drone to counter Russian in their borders in recent days.

Trump Cartel’s War. Trump’s pledge to start “no new wars” during his second term is deported by a week. The US President decided that his administration is officially in an armed conflict with drug gangs in Latin America, which targeted its alleged boats over and over again, the military strikes, according to a memo to the Congress he informed of it. New York Times.
