Trump Warns Cambodia & Thailand: End the Conflict or Face More Tariffs — Crypto Markets React 🇺🇸💥🌏
Former U.S. President Donald Trump has entered the fray as tensions boil over between Cambodia and Thailand, issuing a stark ultimatum: end the three-day border clash or face harsher U.S. trade penalties. The conflict has already left over 33 dead and displaced more than 168,000 people.
📞 Calling from Scotland — mid-golf round — Trump delivered a blunt message to both nations: “No ceasefire, no trade.” The U.S. has already imposed a 36% tariff on exports from Cambodia and Thailand starting August 1, with more sanctions on the table if peace talks collapse.
Trump claims this pressure-based approach worked in the past with India and Pakistan, though India publicly disputed that narrative.
