Trump says he ‘stopped a war’ by preserving a ceasefire between Cambodia and Thailand
November 14, 2025
President Donald Trump says he has successfully eased tensions between Cambodia and Thailand. He said Friday night that he’d preserved a previous ceasefire that he brokered, but which had seemed on the verge of breaking down. Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One that he spoke with the prime ministers of both countries. He believes they are now on better terms. Territorial disputes had led to armed conflict in late July, killing dozens. Trump threatened to withhold trade privileges unless they stopped fighting. The ceasefire was reaffirmed last month, but had faced challenges this week after a deadly incident at the border.
