- Hostilities Halted: Trump confirmed that Thailand and Cambodia agreed to “CEASE all shooting effective this evening” and stop the border hostilities.
- High-Level Calls: The agreement followed separate, “very good” discussions between Trump and Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul, and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet.
- Return to Accord: Both leaders committed to immediately returning to the “original Peace Accord” framework.
- Malaysian Role: Trump acknowledged the previous and ongoing efforts of Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim in mediating the conflict.
The renewed ceasefire is intended to stabilize the border after several days of fighting that displaced thousands of civilians and endangered the earlier truce.
The original ceasefire, arranged in July and formalized in October 2025 during a regional meeting attended by Trump in Malaysia, had been fragile, marked by propaganda battles and continued minor skirmishes despite the agreement. Trump has repeatedly cited his involvement in resolving this long-running conflict as a personal achievement.
