Donald Trump failed to end the renewed fighting between Thailand and Cambodia despite his claims to the contrary, as cross-border clashes between the Southeast Asian neighbors continued on Saturday.

Trump wrote on Truth Social on Friday that he had “very good” conversations with Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul and his Cambodian counterpart, Hun Manet, and that they were “ready for PEACE.”

He said the Southeast Asian leaders “have agreed to CEASE all shooting effective this evening, and go back to the original Peace Accord made with me, and them, with the help of the Great Prime Minister of Malaysia, Anwar Ibrahim.”

Neither Anutin nor Hun Manet confirmed this in statements made after the calls, and Thai F-16 fighters conducted airstrikes on at least two sites in Cambodia on Saturday morning, the seventh day of renewed fighting.
