During his first trip to Southeast Asia as president for a second term, Donald Trump presided over the signing of the Kuala Lumpur Peace Accords between Thailand and Cambodia on Sunday. The agreement calls for demilitarization of their tense border and a commitment to peace following a deadly dispute in late July that resulted in numerous casualties. In exchange for the ceasefire, both countries received reduced tariffs from the US. Trump praised his own peacemaking efforts, claiming he had ended eight wars within eight months. The signing took place during Trump's visit to Malaysia, hosted by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.
