How Trump deploys the threat of tariffs to secure his foreign policy objectives | DW News

On Monday, Thailand and Cambodia agreed to a ceasefire deal at talks in Malaysia following days of clashes along their disputed frontier, killing dozens. Both countries say a ceasefire appears to be holding. The ceasefire between Thailand and Cambodia was reached only after Donald Trump threatened not to finalize trade negotiations if the two neighboring countries did not agree to a peace deal. Cambodian authorities even publicly credited the US president for his role in facilitating a truce. This is not the first time US President Trump has taken credit for solving international disputes.
