President Trump predicted that Thailand and Cambodia will soon ink a peace deal amid his push to get a ceasefire after deadly fighting erupted between the two neighboring Southeast Asian countries

Thailand's military said that there had been attacks by Cambodian troops in at least five locations early on Tuesday, violating the ceasefire.

Thailand and Cambodia are disputing whether their ceasefire is holding, the morning after they agreed to stop fighting in a deal reached in Malaysia under U.S. pressure.

Donald Trump claimed credit for brokering peace between Cambodia and Thailand by leveraging trade deals. He stated discussions led to a quick resolution, preventing further conflict. Trump warned both nations that trade negotiations hinged on ceasing hostilities.

"The U.S. already flunked the test and that should be a wakeup call," a former senior U.S. State Department official told Newsweek.

Thailand and Cambodia exchanged heavy artillery fire for a second day on Friday (July 25) as their worst fighting in over a decade intensified and spread to new areas, despite international calls for a ceasefire.

As Cambodia-Thailand border tensions escalate, the crisis spotlights a groundbreaking trend: women military leaders at the forefront.
