US President Donald Trump facilitated a peace accord between Thailand and Cambodia in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, following deadly border clashes in July. Both nations agreed to withdraw heavy weapons from the disputed area and set up an interim observer team for monitoring. Dubbed the "Kuala Lumpur Peace Accord" by Trump, the agreement aims to de-escalate tensions but does not address the core issues of the dispute. The accord was signed as part of Trump's visit to Malaysia.
