US President Announces Ceasefire Agreement
US President Donald Trump announced an agreement between Thailand and Cambodia to cease hostilities, stating the halt would be "effective this evening." This announcement followed telephone conversations conducted by President Trump with Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet.
The agreement aims to resolve recent deadly border clashes that have resulted in approximately 20 fatalities and the displacement of half a million people.
Responses from Leaders
Neither Prime Minister Charnvirakul nor Prime Minister Manet has issued a public statement confirming President Trump's declaration.
However, following his earlier call with President Trump, Thai Prime Minister Charnvirakul had previously indicated that a ceasefire would be contingent upon Cambodia ceasing fire, withdrawing its troops, and removing all planted landmines.
