U.S. President Donald Trump welcomed a new ceasefire between Thailand and Cambodia on Sunday as both sides moved to halt weeks of deadly border clashes that have displaced hundreds of thousands and claimed more than a hundred lives.

Trump said in public remarks that he was “pleased” by the cessation of hostilities and highlighted the role of sustained diplomatic pressure by Washington, alongside regional partners, in helping to encourage both governments to agree to stop the fighting.

The renewed ceasefire — the second in recent months — came after one of the most intense periods of violence along the long-disputed border, during which Thai forces conducted airstrikes and Khmer forces exchanged artillery fire with Thai troops and civilians caught in the crossfire.

Last weekend’s agreement took effect at midday local time following talks that resumed efforts to de-escalate the protracted territorial dispute.

Trump, speaking on social media and in public comments, credited his administration’s engagement and broader diplomatic outreach for helping to bring the two sides back to the negotiating table.

He reiterated his view that strong U.S. involvement on the world stage contributes to stability and encouraged other international bodies to support peace efforts.

The ceasefire includes provisions to maintain current troop positions and begin cooperative steps such as de-mining and eventual civilian return to evacuated areas, although observers note that the truce’s durability will depend on continued dialogue and monitoring.

Leaders from both Bangkok and Phnom Penh have signalled their willingness to build on the halt in violence, with follow-up discussions expected in coming days to solidify the agreement and prevent further outbreaks.
