Thailand Says Cambodia’s Moves Are Key for Peace, Not Trump’s Mediation

Thailand's Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has rejected the idea of Donald Trump mediating a peace deal between Thailand and Cambodia. Charnvirakul stated that Cambodia's actions are the key to achieving peace, rather than relying on Trump's intervention. The dispute between Thailand and Cambodia has been ongoing for years, with tensions arising over border demarcation and the ownership of ancient temples. Charnvirakul emphasized that the resolution of this conflict should be handled through direct negotiations between the two countries, without the need for external mediation. The Thai leader's comments come after Trump had expressed interest in mediating the dispute, potentially as part of his efforts to win a Nobel Peace Prize. However, Charnvirakul made it clear that Thailand does not see a role for Trump in this process, and that the responsibility lies with Cambodia to take the necessary steps to achieve a peaceful resolution.
