Thailand-Cambodia Border Clashes Kill 33 Displace Thousands Amid Ceasefire Talks

US President Donald Trump has actively engaged in mediating the border conflict between Cambodia and Thailand, urging both nations to agree to an immediate ceasefire and pursue peace. Following Trump's calls, Cambodia accepted the ceasefire request, while Thailand agreed in principle but insisted on prior dialogue and sincere intentions from Cambodia. The fighting, which has resulted in over 30 deaths and displaced thousands, continues despite these diplomatic efforts. Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. also called for a peaceful resolution through dialogue and adherence to international law, offering the Philippines' assistance in restoring peace. United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned the clashes and urged both countries to cease hostilities and resolve their dispute diplomatically. The conflict, rooted in territorial disputes over ancient temple sites, has involved intense artillery exchanges and allegations of banned munitions use on both sides.
