"Speaking at a rally in Pennsylvania, the US president reiterated his global peacemaking skills, proclaiming that in ten months I ended eight wars, before listing hostilities between Kosovo and Serbia, Pakistan and India, and Israel and Iran. Acknowledging that clashes have again erupted in the disputed border region in south-east Asia, Trump suggested he would again step in to calm tensions. I hate to say this one, named Cambodia-Thailand, and it started up today and tomorrow I'll have to make a phone call,"
"Fatal clashes escalated along the disputed border this week as both sides have sought to cast blame on the other for the fighting and vowed to defend their territories. More than 500,000 people have fled their homes to safety in Thailand and Cambodia since the start of the reignited conflict. Both sides have accused each other of violating a US-backed ceasefire deal brokered by Trump in July and signed in his presence six weeks ago."
