A Cambodian government official has sung praise to U.S. President Donald Trump for "bringing about peace" after Thailand and Cambodia agreed to a cease-fire starting at midnight local time on Monday.

Thailand and Cambodia agreed Monday to halt five days of fighting along their disputed border that’s killed at least 36 people, after President Donald Trump’s tariff threats accelerated a regional push for a diplomatic solution.

Thailand and Cambodia reached an “immediate and unconditional” ceasefire deal Monday, bringing an end to days of heavy fire stemming from long-standing border disputes after President Donald Trump got involved in the conflict over the weekend.
