Cambodia to nominate Trump for Nobel Peace Prize for role in ending country's conflict with Thailand
Cambodia will help President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize after helping the country to reach a ceasefire agreement to end the border conflict with Thailand.
Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister Sun Chanthol thanked the reporters for bringing peace to the region while talking to reporters at the country’s capital Phnom Penh early on Friday.
Chandhol said that the American President deserved to be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, the highest profile international award given to a person or organization for “progressing scholarships between nations” in the best way.
Chandhol, “We accept great efforts for peace.” He said.
Trump, Thailand, Cambodia reaches a cease -fire agreement to end the conflict from 260 thousand places
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said last month that Trump was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize and would recommend him for the role of Pakistani officials to help the conflict with India in June.
When Trump spoke to Cambodia and Thailand leaders last week, he called the ceasefire and threatened that the US would not return to the “trade table” with the Southeast Asian countries until the war stopped.
A ceasefire was negotiated in Malaysia on Monday and ended the most severe conflict between the two countries for more than a decade.
“A large number of people have been killed and two countries have agreed with very well, very different countries from certain perspectives. They have been fighting intermittently for 500 years.

Following the cease -fire news, the White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt wrote that Trump’s direct participation in X led to a ceasefire.
“President Trump did this. Give him the Nobel Peace Prize!” He said.
The fight began last week after five Thai military injuries of a land mine explosion along the border. Both sides accused the other for the five -day clashes.
At least 43 people died and more than 300,000 people were displaced on both sides of the border.
“I said, ‘I don’t want to trade with anyone who killed each other,’ he continued while Trump continued in Scotland. “So we just solved. And I will call the two prime minister I agreed very well and I will talk to them immediately after this meeting and congratulate them. But it was an honor to be involved. This would be a very bad war. These wars were very, very bad.”
Chanthol, who also served as the best commercial negotiator in Cambodia, said that his country was grateful to Trump because a 19%tariff rate was low.
In a statement to Reuters, Chandhol, the Trump administration initially reduced a 49% tariff to 36%, then 36%.
