Thailand–Cambodia Agree to Full Ceasefire Amid Regional Mediation Efforts
Trump said the leaders of Thailand and Cambodia have agreed to a complete ceasefire, describing the blast that killed and injured Thai soldiers as accidental, though Thailand’s response was forceful. On December 13, 2025, he posted on social media that discussions with Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet were positive and focused on renewed clashes.
He added that both sides accepted a total ceasefire effective Friday evening U.S. time, or early Saturday in Thailand, and would return to a peace framework brokered with his involvement and supported by Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim. Trump noted that both countries are ready to move toward peace and continue trade with the United States.
Meanwhile, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim confirmed receiving a call from Trump to discuss the Thai-Cambodian situation and said Malaysia is prepared to help de-escalate tensions, protect civilians, and restore regional stability. As ASEAN chair, Anwar also announced plans to convene a special meeting of foreign ministers to review the situation and support de-escalation efforts.
