President Donald Trump demanded a ceasefire between Cambodia and Thailand after border clashes killed dozens and displaced 168,000 people, saying trade talks will resume only after fighting stops.
President Donald Trump on Saturday said he had spoken to the leaders of Cambodia and Thailand, urging a ceasefire, adding the U.S. would not get back to the „trading table“ with the southeast Asian countries until fighting stops.
„I just had a very good call with the Prime Minister of Cambodia, and informed him of my discussions with Thailand, and its Acting Prime Minister“, Trump wrote on Truth Social Saturday while in Scotland as part of a five-day trip to the United Kingdom.
„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 said Cambodia and Thailand have agreed to meet immediately and „quickly work out a Ceasefire and, ultimately, PEACE! It was an Honor to deal with both Countries.
