Donald Trump claimed on Sunday that he intervened to settle the India-Pakistan ceasefire, reiterating a past assertion while discussing conflict between Thailand and Cambodia. He stated he warned the prime ministers of Thailand and Cambodia that trade deals hinged on ceasing hostilities.

The Thai army said Cambodia had fired shots into several areas, early on Sunday (July 27), including near civilian homes, as US President Donald Trump called for a ceasefire. Residents assessed the damage to homes and vehicles in Thailand's Surin province on Sunday.

"The U.S. already flunked the test and that should be a wakeup call," a former senior U.S. State Department official told Newsweek.

Thailand and Cambodia exchanged heavy artillery fire for a second day on Friday (July 25) as their worst fighting in over a decade intensified and spread to new areas, despite international calls for a ceasefire.

As Cambodia-Thailand border tensions escalate, the crisis spotlights a groundbreaking trend: women military leaders at the forefront.
