Cambodia will nominate President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize after he has helped the country, to reach the -fire -agreement agreement to terminate his border conflict with Thailand.
Sun Chanthol, the Deputy Prime Minister of Cambodia, thanked Trump for bringing the region’s peace while he spoke with reporters earlier on Friday in the capital of Phnom Penh of the country.
Chanthol said that the US President deserved to be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, the best-profile international prize that has been awarded to a person or organization for the most to “promote fellowship between nations”.
“We acknowledge his great efforts for peace,” said Chanthol.

The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said last month that he had appointed Trump for the Nobel Prize for Peace and Pakistani officers in June said they would recommend him for the prize for his role in ending the conflict with India.
Trump insisted last week on a ceasefire -the fire when he spoke with the leaders of Cambodia and Thailand and threatened that the US would not return to the “trade table” with the Southeast -Asian countries until the fighting stops.
A ceasefire was negotiated in Malaysia on Monday and the heaviest conflict between the two countries ended in more than ten years.
“Countless people were killed and I had to deal with two countries that we can get along with very good, very different countries than certain views. They fight intervals for 500 years. And we have solved that war … We resolved it by trade,” Trump said to Scotland during his recent trip to Scotland.

Following the news of the cessation -the Furen, the press secretary Karoline Leavitt wrote on X on X that led Trump’s direct involvement to the truce.
“President Trump made this possible. Give him the Nobel Prize in Peace!” She said.
The fighting started last week after an explosion of the land mine along the border, five Thai soldiers injured. Each side blamed the others for starting the collisions, which lasted five days.
At least 43 people were killed and more than 300,000 people were displaced on both sides of the border.
“I said,” I don’t want to act with someone who kills each other, “Trump continued as he was in Scotland. “So we have just solved it. And I will call the two prime ministers with whom I could get along with whole, very well and talk and congratulate them with them immediately after this meeting. But it was an honor to be involved. That would be a very nasty war. Those wars were very filthy.”

Chanthol, who also acts as the best trade negotiator of Cambodia, said his country Trump was also grateful for a reduced rate percentage of 19%.
The Trump government initially threatened a rate of 49% before it was later reduced to 36%, a level that the vital clothing and shoe sector of Cambodia would have decimated, Chanthol told Reuters.
