PHNOM PENH/BANGKOK — Cambodia and Thailand have reacted cautiously to a proposal from U.S. President Donald Trump to implement an immediate ceasefire in a border conflict that has claimed at least 34 lives, displaced more than 200,000 people and showed no sign of ending on Sunday.
The neighboring kingdoms have been firing at each other with heavy weapons and small arms since Thursday morning, largely over competing claims to territory. The fighting spread on Saturday to several previously peaceful areas and Thailand said it used four fighter jets to attack Cambodian military positions.
