In addition, the White House reported that Trump also spoke with the leadership of Malaysia “to help end the violence.”
What preceded: Earlier this week, Thailand said it was suspending a “peace deal” with neighboring Cambodia over a disputed border, just two weeks after US President Donald Trump presided over its signing.
The Thai government explained its move by saying that its soldiers were injured in a mine explosion near the Cambodian border in Sisaket province. Cambodia said it remained committed to the deal, which was supposed to ensure lasting peace after border clashes.
