 Cambodia to nominate Trump for Nobel Peace Prize for role in Thailand peace deal

Cambodia announced plans Friday to nominate President Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of his role in brokering a ceasefire that helped end the border conflict with Thailand. Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister Sun Chanthol said the country intends to submit Trump’s name to the Norwegian Nobel Committee, praising his efforts not only in Cambodia but also in other areas.

Last week, Trump warned that if the five-day cross-border fighting between Cambodia and Thailand did not cease, neither country would secure a trade agreement with the U.S. On Monday, he spoke with Thailand’s acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet, announcing that the neighboring nations had agreed to a “CEASEFIRE and PEACE.” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt credited Trump with making the truce happen and called for him to receive the Nobel Peace Prize.

The ceasefire was negotiated in Malaysia with participation from U.S. officials. The conflict resulted in at least 45 deaths and displaced over 300,000 people on both sides. Following the fighting, the Trump administration imposed a 19 percent tariff on goods from both countries, after initially threatening higher tariffs on Cambodian imports.

On Wednesday, the U.S. announced that Thailand and Cambodia had reached trade agreements, though few details were released. Since returning to the office, Trump has also been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by figures including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Pakistani officials, and several Republican lawmakers and conservative commentators.
