Prime Minister Hun Sen has once again called for the US to cancel the hundreds of millions of dollars in debt incurred to the nation by the 1970s Lon Nol regime, this time appealing directly to Donald Trump to erase the obligation once he is inaugurated as president on January 20.

No problem general. Our debt will be 20 trillion dollars by the time I reach office. I think there is room to stick your debt onto ours. There it is done you are now free to buy subs or other boy toys your balance sheet is clean again.

Or one of his many offshore stashes. He is wealthy beyond belief from graft and corruption.
