US President Donald Trump announced that the prime ministers of Thailand and Cambodia would halt fighting "effective this evening."
President Trump's announcement followed telephone conversations with the two leaders. These discussions took place after recent border clashes, which reportedly resulted in 20 fatalities and the displacement of an estimated 500,000 individuals.
Neither Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul nor Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet has issued a public statement concerning President Trump's declaration.
However, prior to his call with President Trump, Prime Minister Charnvirakul had stated at a news conference that a ceasefire would be contingent upon specific conditions: Cambodia ceasing fire, withdrawing its troops, and removing all planted landmines.
