Trump Claims US Role In Thailand-Cambodia Ceasefire
Thailand and Cambodia reached a ceasefire agreement to end recent border clashes after days of heightened tensions along disputed areas. The truce followed diplomatic engagements involving regional partners and international stakeholders, with both sides agreeing to stop hostilities and stabilise the situation on the ground. Officials from both countries said the ceasefire aims to prevent further civilian casualties and displacement.
Trump Credits US Mediation Efforts
US President Donald Trump welcomed the ceasefire and claimed the United States played a decisive role in facilitating the agreement. In public remarks, Trump said Washington’s diplomatic engagement helped push both sides toward a settlement. He described the United States as the “real United Nations” in resolving conflicts, arguing that American involvement often delivers quicker outcomes than multilateral institutions.
Remarks Draw Attention To UN’s Role
Trump’s comments included criticism of the United Nations, suggesting it has been ineffective in preventing or resolving conflicts. He urged the organisation to take a more active and decisive role globally. The remarks drew attention for their blunt tone, though US officials said the focus remains on ensuring the ceasefire holds.
Regional Situation Remains Sensitive
While fighting has stopped, the situation along the Thailand-Cambodia border remains fragile. Authorities on both sides said security forces remain alert and that continued dialogue is needed to avoid renewed tensions. Regional observers said sustained diplomatic engagement will be key to maintaining stability.
