Fatal clash on Thai-Cambodia border after Trump-brokered peace deal breaks down

The recent breakdown of a ceasefire agreement between Thailand and Cambodia, overseen by Donald Trump, has reignited conflict along their border. The truce faltered after a Thai soldier lost a leg to a landmine, prompting Thailand's Prime Minister to announce that the peace deal was 'now over.' This resurgence of violence has already claimed one life from gunfire, signaling a troubling escalation in hostilities. The situation is particularly dire given that earlier fighting in July resulted in 43 deaths and displaced 300,000 people, marking the worst conflict in a decade. Trump's involvement in the peace process included a threat to withhold trade privileges unless both nations ceased hostilities, highlighting the geopolitical stakes involved. The renewed fighting underscores the fragility of peace in the region and raises concerns about the humanitarian impact on civilians caught in the crossfire.
