Fatal clash on Thai-Cambodia border leaves Trump-brokered peace deal on shaky ground

The truce broke down this week after a Thai soldier lost a leg to a landmine blast, prompting Thailand's PM to say the peace deal was now over'

One person has been killed by gunfire along the Thai-Cambodia border as conflict heats up between the two nations days after a Trump-backed ceasefire agreement collapsed.

Fighting erupted between Thai and Cambodian troops over five days in July, with 43 people killed and 300,000 displaced in the worst fighting along the border in a decade. Donald Trump oversaw the signing of a ceasefire agreement between the two nations in Malaysia this October, after the US president previously threatened to withhold trade privileges from the two countries unless they stopped fighting.
