Cambodia Plans Nobel Peace Prize Nomination for Trump Over Thailand Ceasefire

Cambodia has announced plans to nominate U.S. President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize due to his significant role in securing a ceasefire between Cambodia and Thailand after deadly border clashes. The conflict, which resulted in at least 43 deaths and displaced over 300,000 people, escalated into intense fighting before diplomatic efforts led to a ceasefire agreement mediated in Kuala Lumpur. Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister Sun Chanthol and other officials publicly thanked Trump for his direct involvement, including a critical phone call to the Thai Acting Prime Minister that helped break a deadlock in negotiations. Trump also linked the ceasefire to U.S. trade policy, stating that trade negotiations would not proceed with countries engaged in conflict, which reportedly pressured both sides toward peace. The nomination has garnered widespread support both among Cambodian officials and on social media, with many praising Trump’s contribution to regional stability and peace. The White House praised Trump’s role, with Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt calling for him to receive the Nobel Prize, reflecting broad acknowledgment of his diplomatic impact.
