It's not an accident!! Thailand and the Thai people have been invaded by Cambodia for a long time after historical territories were seized. But recently, the violence has escalated. Thai soldiers have been targeted with landmines in safe areas where they shouldn't be.

I had a very good conversation this morning with the Prime Minister of Thailand, Anutin Charnvirakul, and the Prime Minister of Cambodia, Hun Manet, concerning the very unfortunate reawakening of their long-running War. They have agreed to CEASE all shooting effective this evening, and go back to the original Peace Accord made with me, and them, with the help of the Great Prime Minister of Malaysia, Anwar Ibrahim. The roadside bomb that originally killed and wounded numerous Thai Soldiers was an accident, but Thailand nevertheless retaliated very strongly. Both Countries are ready for PEACE and continued Trade with the United States of America. It is my Honor to work with Anutin and Hun in resolving what could have evolved into a major War between two otherwise wonderful and prosperous Countries! I would also like to thank the Prime Minister of Malaysia, Anwar Ibrahim, for his assistance in this very important matter.
After the clashes, Thailand opened its borders to allow Cambodian workers in Thailand to return home safely and provided them with excellent care. Conversely, Cambodia closed its borders and refused to let Thais return home, even demanding exorbitant fees for their release.
