US EditionTrump says Thailand, Cambodia agree to renew ceasefire after deadly clashes
The renewed ceasefire follows deadly clashes that displaced 500,000 people and killed at least 20, with US-led trade pressure and regional mediation cited as key factors.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump said Thailand and Cambodia agreed to cease all shooting effective Friday after his calls with Anutin Charnvirakul and Hun Manet, returning to the peace accord helped by Malaysia's Anwar Ibrahim.
- The dispute stems from colonial-era maps and a 1962 ICJ ruling, and an earlier ceasefire brokered earlier this year by Malaysia was suspended last month after landmine injuries.
- Fighting entered its fifth day with the Thai army and Cambodian forces displacing around 700,000 people, with 23 killed and more than 260 wounded since Monday.
- Neither Thailand nor Cambodia have independently confirmed the ceasefire, and Anutin Charnvirakul said `The one who violated the agreement needs to fix -- not the one that got violated`.
- Mr Trump has repeatedly touted his role in brokering peace, claiming he helped resolve eight conflicts and personally invested in the truce expanded in October that included releasing 18 Cambodian prisoners of war.
