Thailand Says No Ceasefire With Cambodia Despite Trump Claim

Renewed border fighting has displaced more than 500,000 people following broken truces.

Overview

  • Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said there is no truce and insisted Cambodia must stop firing first.
  • President Donald Trump said he spoke with both leaders and posted that hostilities would halt "from tonight."
  • The timing of Trump's statement was unclear, and Cambodian authorities did not initially confirm any cessation.
  • Attacks have resumed since Sunday after a July truce and an October joint declaration in Malaysia were undone by a November incident.
  • The decades-long dispute along the roughly 800-kilometre border has left more than 20 dead, including civilians, and uprooted over half a million residents.
