A Cambodian government official has sung praise to U.S. President Donald Trump for "bringing about peace" after Thailand and Cambodia agreed to a cease-fire starting at midnight local time on Monday.

Thailand and Cambodia agreed Monday to halt five days of fighting along their disputed border that’s killed at least 36 people, after President Donald Trump’s tariff threats accelerated a regional push for a diplomatic solution.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday he believed both Thailand and Cambodia wanted to settle their differences after he told the leaders of both countries that he would not conclude trade deals with them unless they ended their fighting.

The Director General of Cambodia's National Assembly Lim Menghour praised President Donald Trump for "bringing about peace."

Thai and Cambodian leaders are set for talks Monday to halt the deadliest clash between the neighbors in more than a decade, with the US and China sending envoys after President Donald Trump used tariff threats to press for a ceasefire.
