Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul announced that Donald Trump expressed a desire for the two countries to negotiate to resolve the border dispute. Recent tensions have led to fighting resulting in dozens of deaths and the evacuation of hundreds of thousands of civilians. Thailand is open to negotiations but demands the withdrawal of heavy weapons from border areas and their demilitarization. Both countries have reached a ceasefire agreement, but mutual accusations persist.
