Trump Announces Ceasefire Agreement Between Thailand and Cambodia Amid Ongoing Conflict
U.S. President Donald Trump announced that Thailand and Cambodia have agreed to cease hostilities once again, following recent military clashes. However, Thailand has stated that it will continue military operations despite Trumps mediation efforts. Cambodia has also urged Thailand to halt its airstrikes, asserting that Thai forces are still deploying fighter jets for bombardments.
On December 12, local time, Reuters reported that President Trump declared an agreement between Thailand and Cambodia to stop fighting and return to a ceasefire accord. In a post on his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump stated, "I spoke with Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet this morning. Both countries have agreed to cease all hostilities starting tonight and return to the original peace agreement."
Thailand and Cambodia had initially signed a ceasefire agreement after clashes in July. However, recent skirmishes along the border have resulted in six days of renewed fighting, leading to an increase in casualties on both sides. Reports indicate that nine Thai soldiers and three civilians have died, while over 120 others have been injured. In Cambodia, 11 civilians have been reported dead and 74 have been wounded.
President Trump noted, "The roadside bomb incident that caused numerous Thai military casualties was an accident, yet Thailand retaliated very strongly. Now both nations are ready to pursue peace and continue trade with the United States." The roadside bomb incident referenced by Trump is interpreted as a landmine explosion that occurred at the Thailand-Cambodia border.
He expressed his gratitude for being able to help resolve a situation that could have escalated into a large-scale war, stating, "It is an honor to assist in addressing a situation that could have led to large-scale conflict, despite both being great and prosperous nations."
However, following the call with President Trump, Prime Minister Anutin commented to reporters that the discussions went well, although he did not provide further details. The ongoing conflict between Thailand and Cambodia demonstrates the complex dynamics in the region, with external mediation highlighting the challenges of achieving lasting peace.
