Cambodia, Thailand to hold talks on resuming TRUMP's truce as fighting enters third week

Wednesday, December 24, 2025 - Cambodia and Thailand have announced plans to hold high-level talks aimed at resuming the “Trump truce” as border fighting stretches into its third week. 

The renewed negotiations come amid escalating tensions and increasing civilian displacement in affected areas, with both governments under pressure to prevent further casualties. Regional observers say the talks could be critical in stabilizing the situation and avoiding a broader conflict.

Reports indicate that while clashes have slowed in some sectors, sporadic skirmishes continue to threaten local communities and disrupt trade along the border. International organizations are calling for immediate humanitarian access, as thousands face shortages of food, medical supplies, and shelter. 

The talks are expected to focus on ceasefire enforcement, monitoring mechanisms, and cross-border cooperation to ensure lasting peace.

The urgency is clear: without prompt resolution, the conflict risks spilling over, affecting regional security and economic stability. Both governments are signaling a willingness to negotiate, but analysts warn that successful implementation of a truce will require sustained oversight and commitment. 

For citizens and businesses in the region, the outcome of these talks could determine safety, trade continuity, and the broader trajectory of peace in Southeast Asia.
