The last time I reported on the Thailand-Cambodia border conflict, fighting between the two Asian nations had escalated quickly, with Thai airstrikes along the disputed border and reports of ground clashes in several regions.
Each country is blaming the other for the hostilities. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump indicates he plans to intervene to stop the fighting and save the ceasefire he brokered earlier this summer.
Trump, at a rally in Pennsylvania late on Tuesday, said he would try to stop the renewed hostilities. On Wednesday, he told reporters that he expected to speak with the countries’ leaders on Thursday. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for additional information about the calls.
“I think I can get them to stop fighting,” Trump said. “I think I’m scheduled to speak to them tomorrow.”
