Thailand and Cambodia Seal Ceasefire as China Hosts Follow-Up Talks

Experts question President Trump's claim that he has stopped eight wars.

Overview

  • The neighbors announced a truce on Saturday that pledges a halt to hostilities, a freeze on troop movements, and the return of civilians to border areas.
  • Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi began two days of talks on Sunday with his Thai and Cambodian counterparts to reinforce the ceasefire and encourage steps toward lasting peace.
  • President Trump posted that fighting would stop "momentarily," said the United States was proud to help, and called the U.S. the "REAL United Nations" as Secretary of State Marco Rubio urged both sides to honor the deal.
  • Weeks of clashes left at least 47 people dead and displaced more than a million, according to official tallies from both countries.
  • Analysts and prior reporting dispute Trump's broader boast of having settled eight conflicts, noting exaggerations and unresolved wars, while earlier Malaysia-brokered arrangements collapsed when fighting resumed this month.
