US President Donald Trump says he spoke with the leaders of Cambodia and Thailand in a bid to end their border conflict that has left at least 33 people dead.
“Just spoke to the prime minister of Cambodia relative to stopping the war with Thailand,” Trump, who is on a visit to Scotland, says in a post on his Truth Social network.
“I have just spoken to the Acting Prime Minister of Thailand, and it was a very good conversation,” he says in a second post.
“Thailand, like Cambodia, wants to have an immediate Ceasefire, and PEACE,” he adds.
“I am now going to relay that message back to the Prime Minister of Cambodia. After speaking to both Parties, Ceasefire, Peace, and Prosperity seems to be a natural. We will soon see!”
Clashes, now in their third day, broke out Saturday in the countries’ coastal regions where they meet on the Gulf of Thailand, around 250 kilometers (160 miles) southwest of the main frontlines.
“I am trying to simplify a complex situation! Many people are being killed in this War, but it very much reminds me of the Conflict between Pakistan and India, which was brought to a successful halt,” Trump says.
Trump also indicates he will not move forward on trade deals with either nation until fighting has stopped.
