Cambodia and Thailand exchanged fire across their disputed border for a fourth day on Sunday, hours after US President Donald Trump announced the two Southeast Asian nations had agreed to ceasefire talks and threatened continued fighting would jeopardize their trade deals with Washington.

Thai and Cambodian leaders will meet in Malaysia for talks to end hostilities, a spokesperson for the Thai prime minister’s office said on Sunday. This comes following pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump to end a deadly border dispute,

While Cambodia had earlier backed Malaysian-mediated ceasefire negotiations, Thai foreign ministry spokesperson Nikorndej Balankura had insisted that the two nations did not "need any mediation from a third country yet".
