In a surprising development, US President Donald Trump has praised a new ceasefire accord between Thailand and Cambodia, while levelling criticism at the United Nations. On Sunday, Trump hailed the agreement that ends recent hostilities between the two nations, calling it a "rapid and very fair conclusion." His comments were shared in a post on Truth Social, where he commended the leaders' swift resolution to the conflict.

 

The tensions had flared earlier this month, prompting Trump to engage with the leaders of both countries. They agreed to revert to a ceasefire after a series of border clashes. In his statements, Trump took the opportunity to highlight his role in mediating international conflicts, suggesting the US has taken on the mantle of "the REAL United Nations," given what he described as the UN's limited involvement in global peace initiatives, including the ongoing situation in Ukraine.

 

Kicking off on Saturday, the new ceasefire between Thailand and Cambodia requires several conditions. The Associated Press reports that Thailand will release 18 Cambodian soldiers and undertake the task of removing landmines along their shared border. Thai Defence Minister Nattaphon Narkphanit stated that they will monitor the ceasefire for 72 hours to guarantee its effectiveness. Once peace is secured, displaced civilians are expected to safely return to their homes.

 

This regional peace effort coincides with Trump's broader ambitions to conclude the war between Russia and Ukraine. Heading to a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Trump expressed optimism about reaching a deal beneficial to all parties. The president emphasised the significance of achieving peace, underscoring its importance in his agenda, reported THE HILL.

 

Key Takeaways:

• Trump championed a new ceasefire between Thailand and Cambodia.
• Thailand agreed to release soldiers and clear border landmines.
• The ceasefire is supported by Trump's larger peace efforts globally.

What a prat. He has no clue on the real grievance behind the border issues here. Ok if he genuinely cared about peace, but his interference is all about stoking his own ego. Pressure from China would probably be key to solving it. 

Donnie Demento trying to take credit for another one. STFU, Twitler.

 

A peace-making moron. A Peacemaker? A Peemaker!

A very tenuous ceasefire... 

Again, the Donald doing what the Donald does.  If you tell a lie often enough, people will believe it is the truth. Seriously, how long will it be before his supporters realize that he is just a teenage brat and now, with his age, is really losing his mind? 

It didn't last long, Cambodia once again broke the ceasefire

I agree with that. He will do and say anything to get himself a Nobel Peace prize.

Wait, didn't Thai and Cambodian reps meet in Yunnan Province to work out the cease fire details?

 

Does this mean Xi will be awarded Trump's peace prize?

 

Get ready for 10,000,000% tariffs!

"Cambodia has reportedly breached a ceasefire agreement by flying over 250 drones into Thai territory, as confirmed by the Thai army. Major General Winthai Suvaree, spokesperson for the Royal Thai Army, highlighted that the drones were sighted on Sunday night, crossing various border areas such as Chong Bok, Chong An Ma, and others.

 This incident follows a recent ceasefire agreement made on December 27, 2025"

midnight tonight , when somebody fires their gun into the sky to welcome in the new year, that should be enough to start them all off again

Nobody should believe anything this morons say's or his fantasy role of being a “peacemaker”. Ask the Nigerians or Venezuelans how that’s working out for them. His ass must be jealous of the amount of <deleted> that comes out of his mouth in his continued attempts to deceive the world from what his real motives are, power and increasing his own wealth, legal or not.

What can I say that won't be said!😁

Trump apologists largely fall into the category of believing that there is an equivalence between wealth and intelligence. There ain’t.

Look at the far right millionaires who have fled UK to the Sharia state of Dubai.

Richard Tice, Botoxed plumber Mullins Jim Davison (since scurried back to UK) and Rio Ferdinand.

If that’s a “brain drain” then I think the OED might want to redefine the word “brain “.

FWIW: the closest friends I’ve had in my life didn’t have a pit to poss in yet they were well read, empathetic and clever individuals. They were the vanguard of the proud Woke movement.

You seem to be insecure and intimidated by decent people.
