On a stop in Kuala Lumpur, President Donald Trump presided over the Kuala Lumpur Peace Accords between Thailand and Cambodia, capping a July border clash that killed dozens and displaced hundreds of thousands. The deal frees 18 detained Cambodian soldiers and brings in ASEAN observers. Flanked by regional leaders, Trump touted settling the conflict and paid tribute to Thailand's late Queen Mother Sirikit.
