US President Donald Trump on Sunday congratulated the leaders of Thailand and Cambodia on a ceasefire agreed the previous day after weeks of border clashes that have killed dozens.<\/p>\n

“I want to congratulate both great leaders on their brilliance in coming to this rapid and very fair conclusion,” said Trump, who has claimed credit for a previous truce that was broken earlier this month when the border conflict reignited.<\/p>\n

In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump called the eventual outcome “FAST & DECISIVE, as all of these situations should be!”<\/p>\n

He added that Washington, which has been involved in mediation efforts along with China and Malaysia, was “proud to help.”<\/p>\n

Ahead of talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky later on Sunday, Trump lauded his self-proclaimed role in ending world conflicts, saying “perhaps the United States has become the REAL United Nations.”<\/p>\n

“The United Nations must start getting active and involved in WORLD PEACE!”<\/p>\n

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio welcomed the Thailand-Cambodia ceasefire on Saturday, calling on both sides to “immediately honor this commitment.”<\/p>\n

At least 47 people were killed and more than a million displaced in three weeks of fighting that spread to nearly every border province on both sides, according to official tallies.<\/p>\n

Announcing their agreement on Saturday, Thailand and Cambodia pledged to cease fire, freeze troop movements and allow civilians living in border areas to return home as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

Following the truce, China’s top diplomat Wang Yi is hosting the Cambodian and Thai foreign ministers for two days of talks that began Sunday.<\/p>\n

Wang told his Cambodian counterpart Prak Sokhonn that the ceasefire “has opened the process of rebuilding peace”, according to a statement from Beijing’s foreign ministry.<\/p>\n

“Both sides should proceed step by step to promote a comprehensive and lasting ceasefire” and “rebuild mutual trust,” Wang added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
