The Cambodian government has announced its intention to nominate U.S. President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize after he played a pivotal role in halting a recent border conflict with Thailand.

Deputy Prime Minister Chanthol confirmed this move, attributing the nomination to Trump's efforts in securing a ceasefire that ended the heaviest fighting in over a decade. The announcement follows similar endorsements from Pakistan and Israel, highlighting Trump's international peace endeavors.

The recent conflict resulted in significant casualties and displacement, exacerbating tensions in the region. Trump's intervention is also credited with preventing a tariff increase on Cambodia's garment exports, further solidifying his nomination.
