US President Donald Trump witnessed the signing of an expanded ceasefire deal between Cambodia and Thailand, a development that marks months after he helped broker the initial agreement. The two countries agreed to release 18 Cambodian soldiers held prisoner and begin removing heavy weapons from their shared border.
The ceremony took place at the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) summit in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where Trump had arrived earlier in the day as part of his Asia trip. During the event, Trump danced with local performers, a trademark move that has become an integral part of his public appearances.
Trump's involvement in brokering the initial ceasefire deal between Cambodia and Thailand was seen as a significant factor in bringing the two countries to the negotiating table. The agreement, which was signed months ago, aimed to end their long-standing border conflict, resulting in dozens of deaths and hundreds of thousands of displaced people.
The expanded ceasefire agreement requires both countries to make significant concessions, including releasing 18 Cambodian soldiers held prisoner and beginning the removal of heavy weapons from the border. This move is seen as a crucial step towards establishing lasting peace between the two nations.
Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Manet hailed the deal as a "historic day," while Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul described it as a significant step towards building the foundation for enduring peace. Trump, who had been critical of both countries in the past, expressed confidence that his efforts had helped achieve this outcome.
The US President's actions have also led to the signing of separate economic agreements with Cambodia and Thailand, aimed at strengthening trade ties between the two nations. These deals are seen as part of Washington's broader strategy to diversify its supply chains away from China, a move aimed at reducing its reliance on Beijing for key technology components.
As Trump's Asia trip continues, his role in brokering the expanded ceasefire deal and economic agreements has been hailed as a significant diplomatic achievement. The agreement marks a major milestone in efforts to promote peace and stability in Southeast Asia, an region that has long been plagued by conflicts and tensions between neighboring countries.

! its so cool that Trump was able to help bring those two countries together after all theyve been fighting for so long... and now we get to see the positive effects of it 
. cant wait to see what else comes out of this deal 
!
can't believe trump actually made this work! i mean i was skeptical at first like how could he just waltz in and make these two sworn enemies talk again? but hey the guy's got some serious people skills, who knew dancing with locals would be the key to peace negotiations? 
seriously though its a big win for southeast asia and trump gets major points for it. now lets see if he can back it up with some real action, not just tweeting about it all day 
I'm loving how Trump is getting all the credit for this expanded ceasefire deal 
And let's be real, it's about time these countries started focusing on their own issues rather than worrying about China and all that 
What I'm not sure about is whether Trump is genuinely invested in promoting peace and stability in Southeast Asia or if he just wants to make a good PR video out of this 
Still, kudos to Cambodia and Thailand for finally making some progress 
Yooo, I gotta say, it's dope to see these two nations putting aside their differences and going for a lasting peace deal 
! The fact that Trump played a big role in making this happen is definitely a win-win for everyone involved 
- stronger trade ties = more opportunities for both Cambodia and Thailand to grow and thrive 
. And let's be real, it's not just about the benjamins 
. Can't wait to see what else Trump's trip has in store 
! 
anyway i'm glad to hear about the ceasefire deal between cambodia and thailand it's been a long time coming. the fact that 18 soldiers are finally being released is a huge win for humanity. and these economic agreements with cambodia and thailand could really help diversify US trade and reduce its reliance on china. but we gotta keep an eye on the big picture and make sure this doesn't just benefit us and not the people in asia who will be most affected by it 
.
. didnt know trump was pushing for diversifying US supply chains too... makes sense tho, china is getting too powerful 
. hope this expanded ceasefire deal holds up in the long run 
this is def a diplomatic achievement 
I'm actually kinda impressed by Trump's role in getting Cambodia and Thailand to sign off on this expanded ceasefire deal 
. The fact that both countries are willing to make concessions and work towards lasting peace is huge
