Thailand, Cambodia Seek End to Deadly Border Clashes After Trump’s Trade Ultimatum

President Donald Trump said on Saturday that leaders of Thailand and Cambodia sought to end their deadly border clashes just moments after he threatened to withhold potential trade deals with both Southeast Asian countries unless the fighting stops.

In a series of posts on his Truth Social platform, Trump said he had spoken separately with Thailand’s acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai and Cambodia’s Prime Minister Hun Manet, urging an “immediate ceasefire.”
