President Trump issues an executive order pledging to defend Qatar from external attack, deepening US-Qatar security ties after an Israeli airstrike

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro signed an executive order meant to protect access to vaccines for people in the commonwealth.

President Trump is asking the Supreme Court for a definitive ruling on his reinterpretation of more than a century of legal precedent around birthright citizenship.

That request came in an executive order, which the Governor’s Office said was an effort to speed up the work required under a new state law. That law, authored by state Sen. Josh Becker, D-Menlo Park, calls state agencies to produce a report by next year.

The order cites the two countries’ “close cooperation” and “shared interest,” vowing to “guarantee the security and territorial integrity of the state of Qatar against external attack.”
