Trump Claims Progress in Thailand-Cambodia Border Conflict Amid Trade Leverage
US President Donald TRUMP has asserted that Thailand and Cambodia are prepared to resolve their violent border dispute following his intervention. Speaking from Turnberry, Scotland, Trump indicated that conversations with both nations' leaders had shifted the momentum toward peace. The conflict, now in its fourth day, has resulted in at least 35 casualties and displaced over 218,000 people.
A critical turning point emerged when Trump threatened to suspend ongoing trade negotiations unless hostilities ceased. Cambodia swiftly announced an unconditional ceasefire, while Thailand signaled a halt to attacks. An emergency ASEAN meeting, hosted by Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, is set for Monday in Kuala Lumpur to formalize de-escalation efforts.
