US EditionThai PM Says He Will Speak to Trump Late Friday on Cambodia Clashes
At least 20 killed and 600,000 displaced by intense border clashes; Thai PM seeks US intervention to revive ceasefire brokered earlier in 2025.
- On Dec 12, Thailand's caretaker Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul is scheduled to speak with US President Donald Trump at about 21:20 local time as fighting at the Thai-Cambodia border enters its fifth day.
- The violence stems from the Thailand–Cambodia centuries-old border dispute and a collapsed ceasefire brokered by Donald Trump, causing at least 20 deaths, over 200 wounded, and an estimated 600,000 displaced.
- Local reports detailed attacks in Oddar Meanchey, Preah Vihear and Banteay Meanchey provinces while Cambodia's Ministry of Defence rejected claims of foreign FPV drones and PHL-03 missile preparations.
- The political fallout already includes King Maha Vajiralongkorn endorsing parliament dissolution for national polls within 45 to 60 days, while Anutin Charnvirakul said military operations remain unaffected amid a 67% export plunge and 10% SET Index loss.
- On Dec 11, Trump promised to reach out to leaders, and Gareth Leather warned `the breakdown of the ceasefire irritates the Trump administration` could lead to trade pressure.
