Trump attends ceasefire ceremony with Thailand and Cambodia during Malaysia visit

KUALA LUMPUR — Thailand and Cambodia signed an expanded ceasefire at an ASEAN summit ceremony attended by U.S. President Donald Trump, whose threats of economic pressure were credited with pushing the rivals to halt border clashes earlier this year. Thailand will free Cambodian prisoners, while Cambodia begins withdrawing heavy artillery; regional observers will monitor compliance. Trump called it something “a lot of people said couldn’t be done,” as he inked economic deals, including on critical minerals, and headed into a trip where tariffs and a possible meeting with China’s Xi Jinping loom over broader trade negotiations.
