The ceasefire between Thailand and Cambodia held firm on Tuesday, mitigating deadly border exchanges that were curbed through economic pressure from the US. Despite early accusations, the situation de-escalated after a high-level military dialogue between the two nations.
Officials from both countries worked diligently to maintain the truce. Cambodian Defence Minister Tea Seiha and Thailand's acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai confirmed plans for further talks. With local communities beginning to return, tensions remain under the US's watchful eye, especially concerning trade.
US President Donald Trump's trade policies loom large, with talks on tariffs holding influence over future conflicts. Analysts note the ceasefire's fragility, highlighting the necessity for quick diplomatic resolutions to sustain peace.
