Fighting along Thai-Cambodian border continues despite Trump announcing ceasefire

Written By Saksith Saiyasombut

Renewed fighting along the Thai-Cambodian border has entered the sixth day, raising questions about US President Donald Trump’s claim that both countries agreed to a ceasefire. After separate phone calls with the leaders of Thailand and Cambodia, Mr Trump posted that both sides would “stop all shooting” from Dec 12 evening and return to a US-brokered truce. But Thailand is flatly denying that it agreed to any new ceasefire. CNA's Saksith Saiyasombut reports.
