Washington DC: U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Saturday that Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet and Thailand’s acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai have agreed to meet immediately to negotiate a ceasefire following three days of deadly border clashes.

Phumtham expressed conditional support, stating Thailand agrees in principle to a ceasefire but seeks “sincere intention” from Cambodia.

He also urged Trump to relay Thailand’s readiness for bilateral dialogue aimed at ending the conflict.

Trump warned both leaders that continued fighting could jeopardize future U.S. trade deals.

“Both parties are looking for an immediate ceasefire and peace,” he wrote.

The clashes, which have killed over 30 people and displaced more than 130,000, are the worst between the two Southeast Asian neighbors in 13 years.

Fighting has spread to new areas, including Thailand’s Trat Province and Cambodia’s Pursat.

Thailand reported 20 deaths (7 soldiers, 13 civilians), while Cambodia reported 13 (5 soldiers, 8 civilians).

Tensions have been high since a Cambodian soldier was killed in May, prompting military buildups on both sides.
