‘Reminds me of Pakan and India’: Trump says both Thailand and Cambodia want ceasefire as border war enters third day | World News
US President Donald Trump on Saturday called for a ceasefire between Thailand and Cambodia as the deadly clashes entered the third day. Trump also likened it to the military conflict between India and Pakan. “Many people are being killed in this war, but it very much reminds me of the conflict between Pakan and India, which was brought to a successful halt,” he said.
Trump revealed that he had personally spoken to the leaders of both Cambodia and Thailand, urging them to agree to an immediate ceasefire.
“Just spoke to the Prime Miner of Cambodia relative to stopping the war with Thailand. I am calling the Acting Prime Miner of Thailand, right now, to likewise request a ceasefire, and end to the war, which is currently raging,” Trump posted on his social media platform Truth Social.

The ongoing border conflict has already claimed at least 32 lives and displaced nearly 150,000 people since it broke out on Thursday. Despite growing international concern, shelling and ground clashes have continued.
Trump warned that the violence could have diplomatic and economic consequences. “We happen to be, coincidence, currently dealing on trade with both countries, but do not want to make any deal, with either country, if they are fighting — and I have told them so!” he said.
