President Donald Trump has brokered another ceasefire in yet another foreign conflict, announcing on Friday that he had a “good conversation” with the leaders of Cambodia and Thailand, and that both sides have agreed to a stop shooting.
“I had a very good conversation this morning with the Prime Minister of Thailand, Anutin Charnvirakul, and the Prime Minister of Cambodia, Hun Manet, concerning the very unfortunate reawakening of their long-running War,” the president said in a statement.
He continued, “They have agreed to CEASE all shooting effective this evening, and go back to the original Peace Accord made with me, and them, with the help of the Great Prime Minister of Malaysia, Anwar Ibrahim. The roadside bomb that originally killed and wounded numerous Thai Soldiers was an accident, but Thailand nevertheless retaliated very strongly. Both Countries are ready for PEACE and continued Trade with the United States of America.”
Earlier this year, the president pressured both Cambodia and Thailand into a tenuous ceasefire, using economic leverage as the linchpin in forcing the deal.
As reported by LindellTV, President Trump initially announced the ceasefire in July 2025, following an intense escalation in violence amid an ongoing and longstanding border dispute between the two nations.
He utilized the power of trade to get both countries to come to the table and talk it out.
“Both Parties are looking for an immediate Ceasefire and Peace. 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,” the president wrote in July.
According to Al Jazeera, the July ceasefire was later formalized in October while President Trump was visiting Malaysia, but Thailand then suspended that agreement following alleged Cambodian landmines that wounded their troops.
Since then, the situation has continued to be contentious, but President Trump has once again managed to get both parties to agree to a reasonable ceasefire.
“It is my Honor to work with Anutin and Hun in resolving what could have evolved into a major War between two otherwise wonderful and prosperous Countries!” President Trump stated. “I would also like to thank the Prime Minister of Malaysia, Anwar Ibrahim, for his assistance in this very important matter.”
