US President Donald Trump has announced a temporary ceasefire between Thailand and Cambodia, ending weeks of fighting over a long-standing border dispute. The agreement, signed on Saturday, calls for a halt to hostilities, the freezing of troop movements, and the safe return of civilians living in border areas. In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump claimed credit for mediating the conflict, stating that it was one of eight global conflicts he had settled in the past eight months. He also suggested that the US had become a de facto United Nations, implying that the international organization had failed to effectively address similar conflicts. The ceasefire agreement was brokered with the help of China, Malaysia, and the US, and comes as a relief to the over 47 people killed and more than a million displaced in the three-week conflict. Trump's remarks come ahead of a meeting with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky, where they will discuss a 20-point peace formula to end the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. The senior diplomats from both Thailand and Cambodia met in China on Sunday for two days of talks, marking a significant step towards a peaceful resolution. Trump's announcement has been met with a mix of reactions, with some hailing the US as a key player in international diplomacy, while others have questioned the US President's claims of mediating global conflicts.
