ThailandCambodia Border Clashes Enter Fifth Day as Trump Claims New Ceasefire

Conflicting accounts leave the status of any truce unclear despite direct U.S. outreach.

Overview

  • Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said there is no ceasefire in effect and that fighting continues along the border.
  • President Donald Trump said both leaders agreed to stop all firing starting tonight and to return to the earlier peace accord backed in Malaysia.
  • This week’s clashes have left at least 20 people dead and more than 260 injured, with artillery exchanges reported at multiple points along the frontier.
  • Anutin told Trump that Thailand is not the aggressor and urged Cambodia to withdraw troops, remove mines it planted, and show it has stopped hostilities first.
  • Cambodian government spokesman Pen Bona said he was not aware of a scheduled call between Trump and Prime Minister Hun Manet, underscoring the communication gap.
