Welcome to Washington @PMHunManet! The United States appreciates its growing relationship with Cambodia, a partnership that benefits both our peoples and contributes to broader peace, prosperity, and stability in Southeast Asia. We welcome Cambodia's role as a founding member of the Board of Peace. Given our Administration’s focus on economic and commercial diplomacy, I’m pleased to highlight a historic $3.24 billion deal between @Boeing and Air Cambodia for ten 737 MAX aircraft, with the option to purchase ten more. Deals like this provide our partners American excellence in aerospace innovation while supporting an expected 12,000+ high-quality jobs for American workers.
Dear Indian friends:
Please reconsider traveling to Thailand. Hindu heritage on Cambodian land has been destroyed, while Cambodia continues to honor Hinduism through its ancient temples.
Why support a country that disrespects your faith?
Thailand launched air strikes on its neighbour Cambodia on Monday, the Thai army said, with both sides trading blame for the latest eruption of fighting on their disputed border which killed a Thai soldier

Thailand has launched air strikes along its disputed border with Cambodia, the Thai military said, after both countries accused the other of breaching a ceasefire agreement brokered by US President Donald Trump https://t.co/xSjGIefqfB
I am deeply concerned by reports of armed clashes between Cambodian and Thai forces along their common border. I offer my condolences to the families of those who have been killed or injured. The renewed fighting risks unravelling the careful work that has gone into stabilising relations between the two neighbours.
Thailand and Cambodia are close partners of Malaysia and key members of ASEAN. We urge both sides to exercise maximum restraint, maintain open channels of communication and make full use of the mechanisms in place. Malaysia stands ready to support steps that can help restore calm and avert further incidents.
Our region cannot afford to see long-standing disputes slip into cycles of confrontation. The immediate priority is to halt the fighting, safeguard civilians, and return to a diplomatic path supported by international law and the neighbourly spirit on which ASEAN depends.

Cambodian authorities are investigating a rape complaint which was filed by an 18-year-old returning migrant worker. She alleges that she was raped by a group of Thai soldiers in black uniforms as she and a group of workers crossed the border into Cambodia on the night of November 15.

Prime Minister Hun Manet condemned the use of violence by Thai forces against Cambodian civilians in Prey Chan village this evening, November 12. Thai forces reportedly opened fire on tent shelters, resulting in the death of a Cambodian civilian and at least three injuries.
Hi Michael, I am a long-term resident in Cambodia (15+ years), not an “influencer” as you called me and work in child protection. My concern is safeguarding children and of course supporting peace here. You came to Cambodia mislabeled as a White House correspondent which you are not and you never corrected it. Instead you lean into that false label, you give Cambodians false hope, and you use vulnerable families and children as props to build your platform. You are not credentialed, not an envoy, and cannot sway this conflict. That is exploitation. I do appreciate your desire to amplify Cambodian voices, and I will be the first to admit if you can actually make a difference with this conflict. But until then, you have a responsibility to report facts, not exaggerations or lies. Feel free to message me directly if you want to talk more.
As Trump alienates U.S. partners, one country is swinging in the opposite direction: Cambodia. One of China's staunchest allies has become infatuated with Trump.

Cambodia considers renaming its busiest trade route, National Highway 4, in honor of President Trump, following his role in brokering the historic ceasefire with Thailand @MichaelBAlfaro

Cambodia to rename its key highway after Trump for brokering peace with Thailand! US leader hailed as a hero for halting last month's clashes. #TrumpHighway#CambodiaPeace#Diplomacy
🚨 BREAKING: Thailand has officially blacklisted Trump consultant Michael B. Alfaro & myself, Gary Franchi, Chief White House Correspondent for Next News Network — after our reporting on the Cambodia–Thailand border crisis reached millions, triggered President Trump’s direct intervention, and led 70,000 Cambodian monks to nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Michael traveled to Cambodia during the August ceasefire period, after Trump warned both nations they would face tariffs if hostilities continued.
On the ground he met with Deputy PM Sun Chanthol, Tourism Minister Huot Hak, and spoke by phone with Prime Minister Hun Manet & First Lady Pich Chanmony.
He documented families displaced into plastic tents, schools & temples destroyed, and 18 Cambodian soldiers still being held captive by Thai forces after being lured to the border under a false “peace” meeting.
His livestream drew over 9 million viewers in just one hour, exposing the truth that mainstream media ignored.
I amplified those findings to millions more through Next News Network. As a White House-credentialed journalist who has reported from NATO & the White House press room, I’ve used my platform to ensure the Cambodian people’s voices were heard.
The response? A smear campaign launched by the Thai army & left-wing reporters, calling Michael a “lobbyist” and me “just a YouTuber.” Their intent was clear: discredit us to bury the truth.
And when that failed, they escalated: Thailand blacklisted Michael Alfaro — and targeted me by name — in a desperate attempt to silence our reporting.
But the truth is out. President Trump issued a dramatic ultimatum after reviewing Michael’s footage: Cambodia & Thailand must return to the table or face U.S. withdrawal & tariffs. Within hours, both nations held their first peace talks since the conflict reignited.
Now the Cambodian people call Michael a hero, and in September, Cambodian-American communities will honor both of us with a Champion Trophy for standing with them when few others would.
And today — history was made. 70,000 Cambodian monks just nominated President Donald J. Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, citing his role in ending the decades-long border conflict. This extraordinary moment is a direct result of the truth Michael exposed in Cambodia.
Thailand can blacklist us. They can smear us. But they can’t erase the fact that our reporting reached the President of the United States, helped force peace talks, and has now contributed to President Trump’s historic Nobel Peace Prize nomination.
