In a bold move, President Donald Trump has swooped in to defuse a fiery border clash between Thailand and Cambodia, their worst in over a decade! On July 26, 2025, Trump took to social media, revealing he’d strong-armed both nations’ leaders—Cambodia’s Hun Manet and Thailand’s Phumtham Wechayachai—into agreeing to urgent ceasefire talks. The conflict, ignited by a century-old dispute over ancient temples, exploded with artillery barrages and a Thai F-16 strike, leaving over 30 dead and 130,000 displaced. Wielding the promise of U.S. trade deals, Trump warned that continued fighting would tank their economies. Now, with ASEAN cheering from the sidelines, the stage is set for high-stakes talks to douse this Southeast Asian powder keg!
