Cambodian PM says Thailand is occupying territory after Trump-brokered ceasefire


WASHINGTON: Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet told Reuters on Tuesday (Feb 17) that Thai forces were occupying Cambodian territory after fighting last year despite a peace accord brokered by US President Donald Trump and called on Thailand to allow a joint boundary commission to begin working on their disputed border.

Hun Manet travelled to Washington to attend a meeting of Trump's Board of Peace this week, and said he hoped the new body could play a role in de-escalating the situation on the border, which he described as "fragile" despite a December ceasefire that ended renewed fighting.
