President Donald Trump has facilitated a renewed ceasefire between Thailand and Cambodia, as announced on Friday. This breakthrough follows recent deadly clashes threatening an earlier US-brokered agreement.
In a social media post, Trump acknowledged calls with Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet. The leaders agreed to cease hostilities and revert to a prior peace accord brokered earlier this year.
Despite the renewed commitment, historical border tensions rooted in territorial claims continue to challenge peace efforts. The original dispute dates back to a 1907 map and a 1962 court ruling, exacerbating cross-border violence.
