- Malaysia will host Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet and Thai Interim Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai on Monday in an effort to negotiate a ceasefire.
- President Trump has warned he will not finalize trade agreements with either country until the fighting ends, and UN Secretary-General António Guterres has offered to mediate.
- At least 30 people have been killed and residential areas on both sides have been shelled, forcing more than 150,000 residents to flee their homes.
