Donald Trump said on Saturday that he had called the leaders of Cambodia and Thailand, pressing them for an immediate ceasefire following border clashes. At the beginning of a private visit to his Scottish golf courses, the US president wrote on Truth Social that both nations "have agreed to immediately meet and quickly work out a Ceasefire and, ultimately, PEACE!" Both countries thanked him for his concern and efforts. Cambodia has accepted his request for a ceasefire, while Thailand stressed the need for a dialogue between the two countries.
After the US president's calls, however, shelling continued along the border overnight. The response from the prime ministers of Thailand and Cambodia to Trump's phone calls has been positive, yet neither has changed its position. Cambodia had already proposed a ceasefire; its military is weaker than Thailand's and it has been losing ground and equipment to the Thai artillery bombardments and air strikes.
