Thailand and Cambodia have agreed to renew a truce following days of clashes that threatened to derail a ceasefire brokered earlier this year, former President Donald Trump said Friday.
Renewed Ceasefire Agreement
Trump announced the agreement to restart the ceasefire in a social media posting after speaking with Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet.
The former president said Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim played a key role in facilitating the renewed agreement between Thailand and Cambodia.
The original ceasefire in July was brokered by Malaysia and supported by pressure from Trump, who threatened to withhold trade privileges unless the two countries agreed. The agreement was further formalized in October at a regional meeting in Malaysia that Trump attended.
Despite the initial deal, both countries continued a propaganda war and experienced minor cross-border violence.
