Full event: Trump at signing of Thailand-Cambodia peace deal in Malaysia on ASEAN sidelines

At the ASEAN Summit in Kuala Lumpur, U.S. President Donald Trump witnesses the signing of a historic enhanced ceasefire between Thailand and Cambodia—an agreement he helped broker after intervening in their deadly five-day border conflict in July. The deal, co-signed by Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, Thai PM Anutin Charnvirakul, and Cambodian PM Hun Manet, builds on a truce secured through Trump’s pressure diplomacy, including tariff threats. The pact includes releasing 18 Cambodian POWs and withdrawing heavy artillery along the border, with Malaysian peacekeepers monitoring compliance. Trump called it “something many said couldn’t be done,” celebrating the accord as a milestone for regional stability—and earning a Nobel Peace Prize nomination from Hun Manet for his role.
