Trump Oversees Historic Thailand-Cambodia Peace Deal Ending Deadly Border Conflict

President Trump played a central role in brokering and formalizing a peace accord between Cambodia and Thailand, aimed at ending their border conflict that had caused significant casualties and displacement. The deal, signed during the ASEAN Summit in Kuala Lumpur, includes provisions for a military pullback, the release of prisoners, and the removal of heavy weapons, with an ASEAN Observer Team established to monitor compliance. Trump criticized the United Nations for its lack of involvement, asserting that the U.S. took swift and effective action independently to secure the truce. Alongside the peace agreement, the U.S. also signed trade and critical minerals deals with Cambodia and Thailand, signaling a commitment to both regional stability and economic cooperation. Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim hosted the event and highlighted the significance of the accord in promoting peace and prosperity in Southeast Asia. Trump expressed intentions to apply similar diplomatic efforts to other regional conflicts, such as between Pakistan and Afghanistan.
