Fresh conflict is threatening two of Donald Trump’s signature peace agreements, raising doubts about the durability of the former U.S. president’s diplomatic wins as violence escalates in key regions.
The most serious flare-up involves Thailand, which has launched air strikes on Cambodian territory as border tensions spiral. The strikes mark a major breach of the peace framework Trump previously celebrated as a diplomatic breakthrough in Southeast Asia. Fighting in the area has intensified, with no clear signs of de-escalation.
Another deal championed by Trump is also under strain as armed clashes continue elsewhere, undermining what his allies had promoted as long-term conflict-resolution successes.
Regional leaders and international monitors warn that without urgent intervention, the renewed violence could cause both agreements to unravel completely. Analysts say it underscores the fragility of several Trump-era peace arrangements, many of which relied heavily on personal diplomacy rather than deep structural commitments.
