Day 190
1 documented win
Thailand–Cambodia ceasefire
The win
Trump announced a ceasefire between Thailand and Cambodia after a border war that had already killed dozens and displaced about 260,000 people. He said trade leverage brought both sides to the table.
For Americans
A shooting war in mainland Southeast Asia is a supply-chain and ally problem. Stopping it is how an American president helps factories in Vietnam and ports in the Gulf of Thailand stay open.
For people abroad
A quarter-million villagers who had already fled the fighting get a chance to go home. Cambodian and Thai families along that frontier get a night without artillery. That is the help: not a speech, a ceasefire.
