Washington : US President Donald Trump pushed for peace between Thailand and Cambodia, who are currently engaged in a border conflict. He said he was hopeful about a ceasefire agreement and even claimed that the talks between the two Southeast Asian nations were easier than resolving tensions between India and Pakistan.
