Despite an announcement by US President Donald Trump that Cambodia and Thailand had agreed to work toward a ceasefire, fresh artillery clashes broke out Sunday morning along their shared border. Each side accused the other of continuing the shelling, though both expressed a willingness to negotiate. Cambodian government spokesperson Pen Bona stated that Prime Minister Hun Manet had accepted Trump’s proposal for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire.

However, Thailand’s acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai said his country’s agreement came with a condition: Cambodia must first guarantee an end to attacks on Thai civilians. Trump had warned that without a ceasefire, the US would not proceed with trade talks with either nation.

Meanwhile, thousands of civilians have been displaced, with Thai evacuees taking shelter in temporary facilities and expressing a desire for the conflict to end. In Cambodia, a Buddhist monk remaining in the evacuation zone called for a peaceful, mutually beneficial resolution. For now, both governments insist the other must take the first step toward de-escalation before formal talks can begin.
