US President Donald Trump stated that both Cambodia and Thailand desire an immediate ceasefire after three days of deadly fighting. He spoke with Cambodian leader Hun Manet and Thailand's acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai, suggesting a natural path towards ceasefire and peace. Trump emphasized that he would not finalize trade agreements with either country if hostilities continue. Thai officials have acknowledged ASEAN's ceasefire proposal, but require Cambodia to demonstrate sincerity. The conflict has resulted in at least 33 deaths and over 130,000 displaced individuals, marking the worst violence in 13 years.
"After speaking to both Parties, Ceasefire, Peace, and Prosperity seems to be a natural. We will soon see!"
"When all is done, and Peace is at hand, I look forward to concluding our Trading Agreements with both!"
"I urge Cambodia to stop violating Thai sovereignty and to return to resolving the issue through bilateral dialogue."
"We asked for an immediate ceasefire unconditionally and we also call for the peaceful solution of the dispute."
