US Pres. says Thailand, Cambodia agreed to ceasefire

WASHINGTON, Dec 12 (KUNA) -- US President Donald Trump said Friday that both Thailand and Cambodia has agreed to a ceasefire and return to the peace accord.
In a post on his account in Truthsocial, Trump said, "I had a very good conversation this morning with the Prime Minister of Thailand, Anutin Charnvirakul, and the Prime Minister of Cambodia, Hun Manet, concerning the very unfortunate reawakening of their long-running War." "They have agreed to CEASE all shooting effective this evening, and go back to the original Peace Accord made with me, and them, with the help of the Great Prime Minister of Malaysia, Anwar Ibrahim," Trump added.
"The roadside bomb that originally killed and wounded numerous Thai Soldiers was an accident, but Thailand nevertheless retaliated very strongly.
Both Countries are ready for PEACE and continued Trade with the United States of America," Trump said.
"It is my Honor to work with Anutin and Hun in resolving what could have evolved into a major War between two otherwise wonderful and prosperous Countries! I would also like to thank the Prime Minister of Malaysia, Anwar Ibrahim, for his assistance in this very important matter," Trump added. (end) rsr.mb
