US President Donald Trump said he expected to speak on Thursday with the leaders of Thailand and Cambodia to demand a halt to their renewed border clashes.
“I think I’m scheduled to speak to them tomorrow,” Trump told reporters at the White House on Wednesday. “I found they were two great leaders, two great people, and I’ve settled it once,” Trump said of efforts earlier this year to quell the violence. “I think I can get them to stop fighting,” he added.
Nine Thai soldiers have been killed in a reignited border conflict with Cambodia this week, Thailand’s defense ministry said on Thursday. (AFP)
