Trump intervened by threatening to halt vital trade with both nations unless they agreed to a ceasefire. Following his involvement, the acting Thai Prime minister and Cambodian Prime Minister met and negotiated an unconditional ceasefire with mediation from the U.S. and China.<\/p>\n<p>Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister Sun Chanthol publicly acknowledged Trump&#8217;s efforts, calling them important for peace. Trump himself highlighted the importance of his intervention during a meeting with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, emphasizing that his firm stance on trade helped prevent a severe war. This nomination marks the third government to recognize Trump&#8217;s peace efforts this year. His peace initiatives have also included mediating ceasefires in other conflicts, such as between India and Pakistan, Rwanda and the Democratic republic of Congo, and tensions involving Israel and Iran. Prior nominations came from Israel and Pakistan, recognizing his broader efforts to mediate peace thru diplomacy and trade leverage.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Cambodia to nominate Trump for Nobel Peace Prize for negotiating ceasefire in region<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2183496\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>The government of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/cambodia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Cambodia\">Cambodia<\/a> will nominate President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Cambodia\">Donald Trump<\/a> for the Nobel Peace Prize over his role in bringing about an end to its clashes with Thailand.

Many people are being killed in this War, but it very much reminds me of the Conflict between Pakistan and India, which was brought to a successful halt,&rdquo; he said after the first call.<\/p>\n<p>In the post, Trump called the conflict a &ldquo;War,&rdquo; contradicting the heads of state of both Thailand and Cambodia, who had carefully refrained from labeling the conflict as much. He said that he was already talking with the two &ldquo;by coincidence,&rdquo; but trade talks would be halted until peace was achieved.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. is a longtime ally of Thailand, which is considered one of its closest allies in the Indo-Pacific region.

The first shots were exchanged in May, prompting the reinforcement of the border. On Thursday, five Thai soldiers were wounded after one stepped on a Cambodian landmine, triggering hostilities. Small arms fire quickly escalated into heavy artillery and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/jerusalem-violence-leads-to-hamas-rockets-on-israel-nine-dead-in-gaza\/\" title=\"Jerusalem Violence Leads to Hamas Rockets on Israel, Nine Dead in Gaza\">missile fire<\/a>, airstrikes, and the deployment of tanks and armored vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>Border disagreements between Thailand and Cambodia stem from a border treaty between the French Empire and the Kingdom of Siam signed in the early 20th century.
