After several days of intense fighting along their disputed border, Thailand and Cambodia have agreed to an immediate and unconditional ceasefire. The conflict, which erupted over a long-standing territorial dispute, has killed at least 34 people and displaced tens of thousands on both sides. International actors, including US President Donald Trump and Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, played key roles in pressuring both nations to halt hostilities, with Trump threatening to pause trade negotiations. Despite the ceasefire agreement, there is lingering mistrust and concerns about whether the truce will hold, as both sides have traded accusations and border tensions remain high. The crisis has also tested the credibility of regional organizations like ASEAN and highlighted the risk of broader instability in Southeast Asia.
