The leaders of Thailand and Cambodia both want to end the ongoing conflict between their countries, President Donald Trump said in a post on Truth Social Saturday.
Trump says he spoke to both the Acting Prime Minister of Thailand and the Prime Minister of Cambodia about an “immediate ceasefire.”
The call for ceasefire comes as Cambodia and Thailand continue to fight over a border dispute, which has left at least 32 dead and prompted the evacuation of tens of thousands.
“I have just spoken to the Acting Prime Minister of Thailand, and it was a very good conversation. Thailand, like Cambodia, wants to have an immediate Ceasefire, and PEACE,” Trump said in his Truth Social post. “I am now going to relay that message back to the Prime Minister of Cambodia. After speaking to both Parties, Ceasefire, Peace, and Prosperity seems to be a natural. We will soon see!”
The post came just minutes after Trump said he was in contact with Cambodia’s Prime Minister Hun Manet regarding the war, also noting that he was trying to work out a trade with both countries amid the fighting.
“We happen to be, by coincidence, currently dealing on Trade with both Countries, but do not want to make any Deal, with either Country, if they are fighting — And I have told them so!” Trump said.
