"Dubbed the Kuala Lumpur Peace Accords, it was built on a ceasefire reached after Trump intervened in July after the decades-long Thailand-Cambodia border dispute erupted into five days of deadly clashes. After the peace deal was inked, Trump praised Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet for their courage, adding that the truce he brokered saved "millions of lives.""
"Both countries confirmed their "unwavering commitment to peace and security," agreed to organize de-mining efforts along their border, withdraw heavy weapons and allow access to ceasefire monitor teams organized by ASEAN. Thailand agreed to release the 18 Cambodian soldiers it has held in captivity since July. Trump also signed reciprocal trade deals with Malaysia and Cambodia. Vietnam pledged to increase its purchase of US products to reduce a trade surplus of $123 billion (106 billion) in 2024."

The agreement includes de-mining, withdrawal of heavy weapons, ASEAN ceasefire monitors, and Thailand's release of 18 Cambodian soldiers. Trump praised leaders, claimed the truce saved "millions of lives," signed reciprocal trade deals with Malaysia and Cambodia, and noted planned talks on US-Japan friendship.
