Following escalating border clashes between Thailand and Cambodia that began on July 24th, resulting in casualties and displacement, former US President Donald Trump announced that the prime ministers of both nations agreed to halt fighting "effective this evening." Trump's announcement came after telephone conversations with Thai PM Anutin Charnvirakul and Cambodian PM Hun Manet. Charnvirakul stated a ceasefire was contingent on Cambodia ceasing fire, withdrawing troops, and removing landmines. Trump claimed the agreement involved a return to an original peace accord made with him. The conflict stems from a long-standing territorial dispute along the 800km border, dating back to the French occupation of Cambodia.
