US President Donald Trump will preside over a peace accord signing between Thailand and Cambodia at the Asean summit in Kuala Lumpur on Sunday. The agreement, known as the Declaration on Thai-Cambodian Relations, aims to resolve a border dispute that erupted into violence in July, resulting in dozens of deaths. American officials have been instrumental in facilitating negotiations between the two ASEAN members. Trump's involvement is seen as an effort to bolster his image as a global peacemaker. The signing ceremony coincides with Trump’s one-day visit to Malaysia, where he seeks to highlight his role in brokering peace deals, including recent truces involving Israel and Hamas, and India and Pakistan.
