Trump co-signs Thailand-Cambodia ceasefire agreement

US President Donald Trump co-signed a ceasefire agreement between Thailand and Cambodia in Malaysia, the first stop on his Asia tour which will culminate in talks with Chinese leader Xi Jinping. The deal was signed by Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet together with Trump and Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, following a bloody border dispute this year.

The agreement will see the release of 18 Cambodian prisoners of war on humanitarian grounds, a press release from Cambodia's foreign ministry said. Speaking at the signing, Trump called it a "monumental step" and congratulated both Anutin and Hun for the move.
