Event Summary

US President Donald Trump announced that Thailand and Cambodia have agreed to a ceasefire along their disputed border, effective Friday evening. This agreement follows renewed clashes that killed at least 20 people and displaced half a million. Donald Trump held separate phone calls with Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet, urging them to halt the fighting and return to a peace accord previously brokered with the assistance of Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim. Both Thailand and Cambodia expressed readiness for peace and continued trade with the United States of America. The border dispute, stemming from colonial-era demarcation, has a long history of conflict, with previous ceasefires collapsing. Thailand had suspended an earlier agreement after its soldiers were wounded by landmines, leading to strong retaliation. While some, like Thai evacuee Jirasan Kongchan, prefer direct bilateral talks, Cambodian evacuee Choeun Samnang expressed happiness over Donald Trump's intervention. The United States, China, and ASEAN (ASEAN) had previously brokered a ceasefire in July.
