The leaders of Thailand and Cambodia signed an enhanced ceasefire deal on Sunday (October 26, 2025) in the presence of U.S. President Donald Trump, who intervened in July to bring an end to their deadly five-day border conflict.
The agreement was signed soon after Mr. Trump’s arrival at a summit of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations in Kuala Lumpur.
It builds on a truce reached three months ago after Mr. Trump called the then leaders of the two countries and urged them to end hostilities or risk putting their respective trade talks with Washington on hold.

A White House official said Mr. Trump would also sign a critical minerals agreement with Malaysia during the ASEAN summit in Kuala Lumpur.
The deals were signed after a ceremony with the countries’ leaders on an expanded ceasefire agreement between Thailand and Cambodia.
