Trump mediates Cambodia-Thailand conflict, demands cease-fire after days of deadly clashes
NY Post ^ | 07/26/2025 | Ryan King

President Trump has begun mediating the deadly conflict between Cambodia and Thailand over a border dispute and demanded that the two sides reach a ceasefire to avert a full-blown war.

Trump revealed that he held a call with Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet on Saturday and is planning to speak with Thailand’s acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai in an effort to broker peace.

“We happen to be, by coincidence, currently dealing on Trade with both Countries, but do not want to make any Deal, with either Country, if they are fighting,” Trump announced on Truth Social Saturday.

“And I have told them so!” he added. “I am trying to simplify a complex situation! Many people are being killed in this War, but it very much reminds me of the Conflict between Pakistan and India, which was brought to a successful halt.”

Clashes between Cambodia and Thailand erupted on Thursday over the border between the two countries.

“”””Trump revealed that he held a call with Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet on Saturday and is planning to speak with Thailand’s acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai in an effort to broker peace. “”””

So he is doing peace deals while golfing today. Which activity will the “news” people talk about?

Has there ever been a US President (or any world leader, for that matter) that has been so pro-active in using the great political, financial, and military leverage of the nation in the pursuit of peace in the world rather than to promote (or even tolerate) war? Even Jimmy Carter (who is largely regarded to be exceptional in this regard) was not so relentless in the pursuit of world peace. I think that Trump has a unique perspective that, in the long run, peaceful relations makes a more stable world in which everyone has a chance to prosper without living in constant fear.

He just wants everyone to stop fighting and start prospering. WEIRD.

Another foreign policy intervention. Is he going to tariff one of the combatants if it won’t accept his terms?

Trump is greatly respected by 7 billion people. Except those living in the EU and Canada.

Some people like to build and create things.
Other people like to tear down and destroy things.

Dear Trump,

This would be another opportunity to do more good with tarrifs,

Tell them you’ll raise their tarrifs 10 % if they don’t come to a peaceful agreement.

Just spit balling here

What is Really WEIRD is your concept that what Trump wants is a commandment to the world,
and of course he gets to define it,
