Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet told Reuters on Tuesday that Thai forces were occupying Cambodian territory after fighting last year despite a peace accord brokered by U.S. President Donald Trump. Hun Manet called on Thailand to allow a joint boundary commission to begin working on their disputed border. Hun Manet traveled 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. The board was created to oversee a Gaza peace plan, but Trump has said it could take on a broader role. Thailand has said it is maintaining troop positions as part of de-escalation measures and denied it is occupying territory. The comments from Cambodia’s leader underscore the risk that the conflict could reignite once again despite Trump continuing to promote the success of the peace deal.
