Headline: UNCAPTIONED: U.S. Steps In as Thailand–Cambodia Border Conflict Escalates
Caption: U.S. Steps In as Thailand–Cambodia Border Conflict Escalates. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said State Department officials are in Malaysia to support ceasefire talks between Thailand and Cambodia, which began Monday as border violence escalates. President Donald Trump and Rubio are closely monitoring the situation. Trump reportedly told both nations that no trade deals would move forward unless the fighting stops. The latest round of violence—triggered by the late-May killing of a Cambodian soldier—has spiraled into the deadliest conflict between the neighbors in over a decade. More than 30 people have died, including civilians, and over 200,000 have been displaced. As tensions grow, Monday's talks in Malaysia are seen as a last-ditch effort to prevent further bloodshed and diplomatic fallout, especially as Thailand's fragile coalition government teeters on the edge.
