Trump Warns Cambodia and Thailand Over Trade Amid Conflict

Former U.S. President Donald TRUMP has issued a stark warning to Cambodia and Thailand, urging an immediate ceasefire in their ongoing conflict or face heightened U.S. tariffs. The ultimatum mirrors his earlier tactics with India and Pakistan, leveraging trade as a tool for geopolitical pressure.

Speaking via Truth Social, Trump emphasized that both nations must halt hostilities before any trade discussions with the U.S. can resume. "They are also looking to get back to the ‘Trading Table’ with the United States, which we think is inappropriate to do until such time as the fighting STOPS," he declared.

Despite a scheduled golf outing in Scotland, Trump engaged in separate calls with Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet and Thai officials, demanding an end to hostilities. His message was unequivocal: no trade deals will be entertained without peace. "I am trying to simplify a complex situation!" he remarked, underscoring his transactional approach to diplomacy.
