SISAKET, Thailand / WASHINGTON >> President Donald Trump said today that the leaders of Cambodia and Thailand had agreed to meet immediately to quickly work out a ceasefire, as he sought to broker peace after three days of fighting along their border.
Thailand and Cambodia exchanged heavy artillery fire for a second day on Friday as border fighting intensified and spread, while Cambodia's leader said Thailand had agreed to a Malaysian ceasefire proposal but then backed down.
Thailand's acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai on Friday blamed Cambodia for initiating the latest armed conflict by using "military force first," while imposing martial law in border provinces.
