President Trump is scheduled to speak with Thailand's prime minister on Friday, December 12, 2025, regarding the escalating border conflict between Thailand and Cambodia. The call aims to address the five-day-old hostilities, despite a peace agreement signed six weeks prior. Thailand has conducted air raids, and Cambodia has responded with rocket fire, resulting in over 20 deaths and displacement of over half a million people. The conflict stems from a decades-old territorial dispute, and analysts suggest the Thai prime minister is likely to take a hard-line stance. Trump previously threatened tariff negotiations during a similar outbreak in July, but the long-standing nature of the dispute makes a breakthrough unlikely.
