Thailand’s government confirmed on Tuesday that it will halt the implementation of an enhanced ceasefire agreement with Cambodia, signed last month in the presence of US President Donald Trump, and said it would explain its decision to Washington. Bangkok will also put on hold the return of 18 Cambodian prisoners of war currently held by the Thai military, Defence Minister Natthaphon Narkphanit told reporters. He declined to answer a question on whether troops would be redeployed. Tensions between the two Southeast Asian neighbours, who clashed for five days in July, have escalated following a landmine blast on Monday that injured four Thai soldiers.
