News Summary
- Thailand and Cambodia have agreed to an “immediate and unconditional” cease-fire in a significant breakthrough to resolve deadly border clashes.
- The deal may have been inspired by Trump, who offered both nations some sizable carrots to put aside hostilities in the form of trade deals.
- The fighting began Thursday after a land mine explosion along the border wounded five Thai soldiers.
- Both sides blamed each other for starting the clashes that have killed at least 35 people and displaced more than 260,000 people on both sides.
Late last week, I reported that as clashes between Cambodian and Thai military forces entered a second day, Thailands acting prime minister warned that the border dispute could develop into war. Init [+6901 chars]
