Trump vows to stop war between Cambodia, Thailand And once again mentions Azerbaijan and Armenia

US President Donald Trump has declared he would once again work to end the war between Thailand and Cambodia.

“In 10 months, I ended eight wars, including Kosovo-Serbia, Pakistan and India. They were going at it. Israel and Iran, Egypt and Ethiopia. You didn't know about that. Armenia and Azerbaijan,” Caliber.Az quotes Trump as saying during a public speech in Pennsylvania.

Trump also said he was working to put an end to the conflict between Cambodia and Thailand: “And I hate to say this one named Cambodia, Thailand that had started up today. Tomorrow I have to make a phone call and I think they'll get us.”

The US leader pledged to contact the Thai and Cambodian leadership: “Who else could say: ‘I'm going to make a phone call and stop a war of two very powerful countries, Thailand and Cambodia.’ They're going at it again, but I'll do it. So, we're making peace through strength. That's what we're doing.” 

On August 8, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump hosted Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan at the White House for a trilateral summit that culminated in the initialling of a historic peace agreement and a joint declaration. This event marked a pivotal breakthrough in resolving the decades-long Karabakh conflict. 

The summit was built on a July 2025 Abu Dhabi meeting where the leaders had discussed border delimitation and the Zangezur Corridor, a proposed transit route through Armenia's Syunik Province linking Azerbaijan to its Nakhchivan exclave, and it sidelined the defunct OSCE Minsk Group by committing to its dissolution.

The core outcome of the summit was a seven-point joint declaration pledging mutual recognition of 1991 Soviet-era borders, an end to territorial claims (including Armenia dropping references to Karabakh in its constitution), non-use of force, and the reopening of embassies and trade routes, alongside the initialing of a 17-article peace treaty draft by foreign ministers that emphasized balanced interests and further steps toward full ratification.

A standout element was the establishment of the "Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity" (TRIPP), granting the U.S. a 99-year exclusive development lease over a 43 km corridor in southern Armenia for rail, highways, pipelines, and fibre optics, designed to enhance East-West trade via the Middle Corridor.
