Trump Announces Thailand-Cambodia Ceasefire After 20 Killed In Deadly Border Clashes

US President Donald Trump announced on Friday that Thailand and Cambodia have agreed to a ceasefire following a week of border clashes that killed at least 20 people and displaced around half a million. He credited his personal talks with the leaders and assistance from Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.

In a Truth Social post, Trump said he had a "very good" conversation with Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet. Both agreed to "cease all shooting effective this evening" and return to the original Peace Accord signed in October in Kuala Lumpur, with Trump and Ibrahim as witnesses.

"I had a very good conversation this morning with the Prime Minister of Thailand, Anutin Charnvirakul, and the Prime Minister of Cambodia, Hun Manet, concerning the very unfortunate reawakening of their long-running War. They have agreed to CEASE all shooting effective this evening, and go back to the original Peace Accord made with me, and them, with the help of the Great Prime Minister of Malaysia, Anwar Ibrahim," his post read.
