Trump announced the agreement to restart the ceasefire in a social media posting following calls with Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet.

President Trump helped end a simmering conflict between Cambodia and Thailand in the summer, but the ceasefire didn't last long.

President Trump is expected to speak with Thailand’s prime minister on Friday, as he seeks burnish his self-styled image as a peacemaker by intervening in a border conflict between Thailand and Cambodia that entered its fifth day.

The escalation broke the ceasefire brokered in July by Trump who threatened to halt trade talks with the two countries unless they ended the fight.

President Donald Trump said Friday that Thai and Cambodian leaders have agreed to renew a truce after days of deadly clashes had threatened to undo a ceasefire the U.S. administration had helped broker earlier this year.

Thailand may escalate against Cambodia, weighing fuel and maritime curbs, with decisions due at a Monday security meeting.
