Trump says he ‘stopped a war’ by preserving a ceasefire between Cambodia and Thailand
- On Friday, President Donald Trump called the prime ministers of Thailand and Cambodia to bolster a U.S.-brokered ceasefire, the White House said.
- Longstanding territorial disputes stem from a colonial-era map drawn when Cambodia was under French rule and centuries of enmity, leading to a five-day armed conflict in late July that killed dozens before a U.S.-brokered truce on October 26.
- Thailand suspended the deal on Monday after a landmine blast, and clashes on Wednesday left one villager dead and three wounded in Prey Chan, Banteay Meanchey province, Cambodia.
- Trump pressed trade leverage by threatening to withhold trade privileges and steep tariffs, and aboard Air Force One he told reporters, 'I stopped a war just today' flying to his Mar-a-Lago estate, Florida.
- The ceasefire does not set a path to resolve the underlying border claims, while Malaysia and the U.S. highlight continued external mediation in the region.
